The Nashville TENNESSEAN's Joe Rexrode writes the media should honor late Univ. of Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt with more coverage of women's sports. The popularity of the U.S. women's national soccer team "suggests progress, but there's still a large gap" in perception and coverage overall. Rexrode: "We can do a better job in my industry of covering women's athletics. I think we can do a better job of respecting women's athletics and engendering respect."

The Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER's Andrew Carter writes under the header, "Man Or Meme: Who is Michael Jordan To Basketball's Next Generation?" For the UNC basketball program, it is "an important question," as Jordan for years was perhaps the team's "greatest marketing and recruiting asset." These days, a younger player's "only exposure to Jordan comes from the highlights on YouTube and from the streams of Crying Jordan faces that show up on Twitter feeds."
