What They’re Saying:
- Adam Sharp, President & CEO, NATAS: “The global pandemic has created unparalleled challenges in bringing a ‘live’ awards show program to the sports community. With two hosts, seven presenters, and more than one hundred and thirty-five acceptors coming from either a studio or their homes across the country, the sheer size and demand for new and exciting ways to recognize the great talents creating sports television has been an enormous enterprise that the National Academy has happily embraced.”
