...Some of this year's Final Four spending won't even stay in the country. More than half of the several thousand college basketball coaches who flock to the Final Four for their annual convention will be lodging across the river - and border - in Windsor, Ontario.

The role call boasts some of our biggest names—from Elena Kagan to Cass R. Sunstein ’75—and the total count comes to at least 10 Harvard professors along with numerous alumni...
