Dennis Young, Sports Editor at SFGate, is looking for pitches:
If you're a freelance sportswriter with a non-obvious pitch about the Pac-12 disintegration—it could be about Olympic or women's sports, but doesn't have to be—I am extremely open for business.
For this (reported stories about Pac-12 collapse), we'd pay $300-500 depending on scope and reporting.
