Now not to because it might just be a great big coincidence buuuuut: ODU had a job opening a few months ago for a senior executive writer/communications specialist, and among the duties was producing content for the ODU website and ODU athletics website. I'd link the opening but it has been since taken off the site.

There's precedent for a move like this: I remember U.Va. hired Jeff White, the U.Va. writer for the Times-Dispatch some time ago, to be in essence their beat writer. He did a lot of the same work, but as an employee of the school and not a newspaper.

I have no sources for this; I'm drawing a very sketchy line between two piece of information. But it would be a logical transition, and ODU is no threat to merge large portions of its business holdings with William & Mary.
