Daily Word: On the Road

Our home for the next three days.
We (Bryan and John) are coming to you today live from the NCAA Headquarters in Indianapolis. Interns just like us from all around the country are gathering at the home of college sports from today until Friday to hear from distinguished speakers who boast a variety of impressive credentials. Today was our travel day so the blog will be a bit abbreviated, but look forward to getting your conference wrap up tomorrow and the Friday Fives the day after. Until then, let's wrap up the action from last night and visit the usual array of links.
