The New Big East: Val Ackerman / NY Times

Seems ridiculous to me that they don;t have a permanent space yet. Are they trying to go on the cheap. Better go back to Rhode Island if that is the case.
Nothing cheap in Manhattan.
 
Nah, I think this is intentional, at least until they get off the ground. Proskauer has the premier sports practice in the industry, David stern and Gary Bettman both came from that firm, plus countless gms and league executives. They advise all the major leagues on a wide variety of issues. I'd rather she work out of their office, then hire 100 people in her first month on the job, and try to do everything on her own. That's too much,too soon.

Until the league can "fly" on its own, she's right to lean on the counsel of people who have been there and done that. She seems like a capable manager in that sense.
