If newspapers are losing money and TV stations are losing money and college athletic departments are losing money, then why do each keep spending more money to send reporters and coaches and players to Las Vegas for two days of conference (in this case, the Mountain West) meetings when the news generated by such an event could be covered in a 15-minute conference call?

This is why guys who work in steel mills and on assembly lines don't really care to hear about other people's problems.
