So many stories. We are going to call this the “empty the notebook” version of Linked Up. During the championship season many worthy Linked Up stories get bookmarked for Linked Up inclusion, but it gets so busy during that time of year that often they pile up (particularly when there is a Linked Up specifically for championships). So this edition of Linked Up is playing catch up for stories that jumped out during those few weeks. Next week will be a little more familiar format with a wide-range of links from various sources.
