As a 10 year paperboy who daily devoured the * World news and sports page . A team named Connecticut was making news. Since I lived in Connecticut it was pretty cool having a real home team to follow .Names like Worthy Patterson and Art Quimby joined my list of sports heroes. But it wasn’t...

I thought ESPN getting the package deal that includes the women’s tournament for $115,000,000 was a steal . Success in women’s basketball will now become a bigger factor However the biggest factor for basketball is getting the NCAA to part with some of their money to the D1 tournament...
