Issue: March 06, 2014

Hi everybody,
Another Thursday, another Reno News & Review. This week on the cover of your favorite newspaper, we take a look at the issue of paying college athletes something commensurate with the money they bring to the school. Is it turning college athletes to pros or just a recognition that universities use those athlete's names and likenesses to make money for the school? Also in this week's issue, Dennis Myers continues coverage of Northern Nevada's pot future; Sage Leehey samples the foie gras controversy; and Brad Bynum looks at a band that makes a statement with its name. Feel free to click the links below, but don't forget to pick up a newsprint copy for exclusive cartoons, columns and papier mache materials. As always, thank you for reading our paper; if not for you, we'd just be tackling dummies.
Here's to ya,
Brian
