It’s a rhetorical question.
This was an “article” written by the PR department at Dalhousie and posted on the Dal website. The Metro picked it up as a weekend online feature without even re-writing it.
I think we still get scores and game results, but the thing that is seriously missing when newspapers gut staff and pages is features and longer, in depth articles. It’s sort of annoying when it comes to sports but hard news is in just as bad situation.
For the record, I love noon hoops although I haven’t been out in months (and showed up rarely even when I did go). I just think it’s absurd for a newspaper to rely on PR departments for content.

At least they gave the byline to the author, not “staff”. We may find that Metro will start filling up with Kings J-school material and maybe co-op student work term projects rather than remain a professional (?) newspaper.
