Associated Press is a business-to-business arrangement wherein the Associated Press coterie of writers and editors supply articles to publications that pay fees to use them. That was the case with ESPNw, which used an AP article that was written on Dani Paterson's entering the transfer portal.

So, when an article is "pulled," it's used.

And my initial comment was that this AP article was well-researched and put together. That's it! All (with it) is good.
