USM students aim to be next generation of sports media stars

University of Southern Maine officials are asking friends, family and members of the larger school community to log in and vote for seven Huskies who are among the 50 finalists to become XFINITY/Comcast Sports social media reporters.

Here’s a blurb on the situation pulled from the USM public affairs page:

As a required class assignment, each student completed a short video describing why he or she should be the next sports social media star. But what started as an assignment can turn into an amazing opportunity. The top five finalists will be sent to a live sporting event for a final job audition, and the grand prize is a year-long job for XFINITY/Comcast Sports.
