Press conference is indeed Monday afternoon.

He hosted Sports Tonight on Comcast Sports NE and broke it at the end of the show.

He finally tweeted it. Iron Man 2 has been sucking up my television viewing this evening.
I was wondering why he was hosting tonight.... now it makes sense.

From what you say, I bet he tweeted it and then decided to break it live on the show. Then tweeted it again.
You know how I love the Twitter.
Anyway, this is exciting. I'm a hoops guy first and foremost, but I think this is great as far as engaging recent alumni across the state. The timing is great as we move some games back to Amherst. I actually think the split home schedule might be a perfect fit for us this year.

I'm pleased to hear this too, but just remember, Whipple has been involved in failed negotiations before. I'll let loose with my happiness once it's a done deal.

Bert's words were, " .....has agreed in principle..." for what it's worth.
