Story Highlights

The Sports Video Group (SVG) and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) are pleased to announce the finalists for the 2020 SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA (CSMAs).

This year's ceremony will be streamed on our YouTube channel on Thursday, June 25 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT and will be hosted by an all-star collection of CSMA hosts from the past, including ESPN's Rece Davis, Jen Lada, and Tom Rinaldi; Fox Sports' Joel Klatt; and NCAA.com and BTN's Andy Katz.

Representing a variety of college athletic departments, conference offices, professional networks, production companies, and students, finalists are named across four divisions across five categories.

This year's competition was held under extremely unique circumstances but what has remained consistent is the exceptional quality of the content submitted to compete in the CSMAs, says Brandon Costa, director of SVG College. These are difficult times in collegiate athletics and we hope that an opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments from the previous year brings you a glimmer of hope for our future.

2020 has been a most challenging year for the world and the world of college sports, says Tom Buffolano, chairman of the SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA. As college sports were put on hold for the safety of all, we were denied the sheer joy of competition.There are stories that would become part of lore, told through the lens, that we will never know. In spite of this, SVG made the decision to again recognize the best in college sports production. I am genuinely awestruck at the ability of those who submitted entries to remotely navigate these challenges and I would consider this the best competitive year for the CSMAs.

The 2020 College Sports Media Awards are sponsored by our friends at Ross Video.

The Sports Video Group, NACDA, and Ross Video extend congratulations to all the finalists.
