You make a good point is the juice worth the squeeze of being there

Those also make sense, but I can't imagine any of those outlets committing 4 people to be at every site the first weekend. Indy Star will probably co-opt USA Today coverage and other Gannett papers that make the trip. They could really knock it out of the park with the reporting they could have...

There is nothing for local TV stations to shoot. NCAA has never allowed them to shoot anything but the locker room interviews (which there aren't any) and stand-ups in front of the NCAA banners or street scenes. I don't think they will be credentialed. All they could do is stand outside Lucas...

Yes, it is a pandemic, we all know that. Friend who covers Michigan passed on this letter about how colleges will be limited to five media spots for NCAA. Sounds like it will be five for each team and 15 national spots at each game. There aren't any in-person interviews anyway with...

Good luck, I did that with 5 high schools in the 1990s, it was a lot of work but a lot of fun. I had stringers so we staffed almost every one of their HS football games and a lot of their boys and girls basketball games. Those were the biggies obviously but league meets for cross country...

Agreed on the variety of the song list on 70

Been mixing my 70 with 57 (No Shoes Radio/Chesney) with some 24 (Buffett) you usually find something good Some Yacht Rock I’ve been hearing quite a bit ... Heart to Heart by Kenny Loggins What a Fool Believes by the Doobies Just Remember I Love You by Firefall Africa by Toto Deacon Blues...

Deduct everything you do ... all travel from your house to anything ... that mileage adds up .... if your home is your office (and this is in broad terms) you can deduct the percentage of square footage of overall house for your office space in terms of your phone bills, cable (if needed for...

I googled San Jose curfew and got what appears to be a curfew for city council meetings at midnight ... and as soon as they passed it they blew right threw it (sub required to read) Internal Affairs: San Jose set a midnight curfew and then blew it. What happened? – The Mercury News

Thanks for the link and the advice, guys ... anything to make our lives easier LOL

I cover a team that regularly makes the playoffs ... we sometimes prospect on airline flights early to get cheaper rates ... using Southwest you can always cancel and re-use that credit anytime in the next year (i.e. for conference basketball tournament or NCAA next spring, in this case). I...

... about their business model, their coverage of sports in their cities, any ideas on expansions? Just looking for any pertinent information. Thanks!

Good suggestions by everybody ... I saw the comment about beat guys having access to coaches and GMs, and I do agree with that ... they need that time and they should have priority with those people. Other than the nearby NFL team(s), I don't worry about those guys ... I'm just there for the...

Yeah, I'm just a smalltime guy. The Super Bowl media day is a fiasco with people in costumes, which I understand they are trying to cross all platforms to get a huge rating. Just don't understand how NFL can turn away anybody who is legit at something like this. Yes, I know they are a private...

Yeah bull in china shop probably not best way to go
