From the field to the press box, sports media students cover historic College Football Playoffs

Graduate students with the IU School of Liberal Arts Sports Capital Journalism Program, along with students in The Media School at IU Bloomington got the call for some of the most coveted press box opportunities in college football.

Three sports journalism graduate students, Cort Street, Chris Schumerth and Jeffery Green Jr., helped cover this year’s College Football Playoff games. Street and Schumerth started off early coverage at the Big 10 Championship in Indianapolis and then continued on to South Bend and then the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Now they are preparing for the National Championship game in Atlanta.
