I think asking UA's SID for a story is a good idea. When I worked at the Indianapolis Star this summer, the sports department asked the Triple-A baseball team's PR guy to write game stories on the road. Saves money and you still have decent coverage. David,

That's why people aren't buying/reading the paper..and then they lose money and have to watch spending. Lots of high schools in the area are having parents/coaches/fans/students write and post articles on their school's athletic pages. Couldn't the BJ find an aspiring U of A journalism student willing to travel with the team and write? or U of A's SID? Mike,
