WORTH IT: In Chicago, Christopher Placek notes Elk Grove Village leaders "believe they're already seeing returns" from their sponsorship of the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl, if the publicity gained since the sponsorship announcement Tuesday night is "any indication."

Now we've got 95 percent realized just with the announcement." Johnson said that the $300,000 sponsorship fee is "only $125,000 more than the village spent last year to run commercials and banner ticker ads during Cubs games" on NBC Sports Chicago (Chicago DAILY HERALD, 8/3).

WELCOME BACK: WNBA Dallas Wings G Skylar Diggins-Smith said of the league's partnership with Puma amid the brand's return to basketball, "It's awesome to see. ...
