It was back when the Internet was about to hit the mainstream that I suggested to someone from the Ivy League office that instead of having newspaper, radio and TV people drive to New Haven for the annual media day event (a trip few bother to take) that the conference employ this new technology to do something different. My idea was that the eight schools, which by rights should have been ahead of the technology curve, invite their local media on campus to view a "remote" of the press conference delivered by computer. Today, that would hardly be news. But if the Ivies had run their media day that way years ago, when most ink-stained wretches of the Fourth Estate had never heard of the 'Net, it might have attracted some attention. Alas, my idea went for naught.

I bring the idea up only because the Patriot League has taken a step ahead of the Ivies with regard to using the Internet. I don't know how it will turn out, but the Ivy's sister league will be holding an online "chat" with one player from each of its schools as part of its media day. Good idea.
