Saturday Tradition is hiring freelance B1G basketball columnists

What I want: First and foremost, a gifted basketball writer, somebody who can take ownership of our Big Ten basketball coverage with strong analysis, insights and knowledge. Just like we do on with the ACC and SEC. You don't have to live in a B1G town, but that certainly would help. You do need B1G basketball experience, primarily as a columnist. If you can recognize Spain action, all the better.

This is a freelance position, paid per piece. The better you are, the more opportunities you'll have. You'll work with me, a former NBA/B1G editor at the Indianapolis Star, but ideally you're pitching more ideas than simply waiting on assignments.

If you're qualified, interested and want a large audience to showcase your words, please email 5 or 6 B1G basketball writing samples and a resume to: cwright@saturdaydownsouth.com.
