As WRAL-TV readies to air its latest documentary, College $ports: #missionormoney , our revolutionary approach is garnering national attention.
WRAL-TV is breaking ground again, this time, local programming, writes Deborah McAdams on TVTechnology.com.
The two-hour interactive WRAL documentary College $ports: #missionormoney, anchored by WRAL Sports Anchor Jeff Gravley, examines the multi-billion dollar industry of big time college sports, the influence of money on the game, and whether reforms are needed to protect the integrity of our major academic institutions.
CBC Vice President of Policy & Innovation Sam Matheny told NetCheckNews, "Our idea is that this makes the program more compelling, encourages a conversation that we really feel needs to be had and appeals to a bigger audience."
NetCheckNews: WRAL Doc Makes Heavy Use of Social Media
WRAL-TV Documentary Producer Clay Johnson discusses the program in his Behind the Doc blog on WRAL.com.
Many reforms to big-time college sports have been talked about from paying student athletes to eliminating athletic scholarships, said Johnson. Those would be tough choices to make, and it seems that every potential reform creates another potential problem.
He also asks questions to get the conversation going. Check out Johnson's blog here:
