Big Ten Network Student U Productions at Michigan
The Big Ten Network has invested in student production crews at each of the Big Ten schools. These crews are designed to allow students to produce their own sports broadcasts that stream live on B1G+ (BigTenPlus.com) and often re-air on the Big Ten Network.
Here at the University of Michigan, we push our crew to produce the highest quality broadcasts of Michigan sporting events that we can and have consistently been ranked as one of the top student productions in the nation. With the Student U productions here at Michigan, you as a student can gain invaluable first hand experience working on a sports broadcast that has the potential to reach over 90 million homes! Additionally, through working with our crew, students are able to gain skills and experience in business operations, as well as invaluable networking opportunities.
We believe in further developing and showcasing the talents and hard work of students interested in the broadcasting field. That is why our Student U broadcasts are COMPLETELY produced by students. Recent graduates from the Student U broadcast program have experienced great success in broadcast industries, including SI.com, ESPN, CNN, Fox Sports 1, CBS Sports, and ABC affiliates.
