Booking Overview

An official college-athletics interview show focused on Maryland Terps teams and the people around them, typically featuring coaches, student-athletes, staff, alumni, and other Maryland personalities. The strongest pitches are athletes, coaches, alumni, or athletics professionals with a direct Maryland connection; candidates without that tie are unlikely to fit, making booking difficult for outside clients.
