They got the madness part right
As we get into the meat of this three-week span in which people are calling Greensboro "Tournament Town," I must pose the questions that we talk about every day: Are we doing too much or not enough? And its corollary: How much goes on A1?
The three basketball tournaments running back to back to back are news, even if you don't care a whit about the games. Traffic gets snarled, restaurants crowded and hotels filled. (Less so for the women's games, but still....) Yet when is enough enough? We know some readers prefer their front page news pure as illustrated by this comment: "You have a sports section. Use it!"
Our intent is to cover the tournament from both a fan's and citizen's perspective. So, you can easily find information about the basketball action as well the social events. And, obviously, we're doing additional stuff online. (Stuff, Lex, not junk.)
Anyway, we welcome your thinking. We have another two-and-a-half weeks of this.
