Jay Stickney

Booking Overview

A college athletics interview show focused on University of Denver teams, with recurring interviews of head coaches, players, and occasional sports-media contributors. PR agencies could credibly pitch collegiate coaches, athletes, and athletics experts with direct team or program relevance; booking should be low difficulty because the format is institutionally focused and regularly features university personnel rather than nationally prominent figures.
