Sports journalism students joined professionals from all over the country in covering the Big Ten football championship game in Indianapolis Dec. 3.

The Student News Bureau reporters produced previews of the game between Michigan State and Wisconsin, analyses of the rivalry and backstories of the teams, as well as coverage of the game.

Students Brian Burnsed, Zak Keefer, Stephanie Kuzydym, Jason Bailey and Josh Weinfuss brainstormed coverage strategies, obtained their press passes and got to work providing coverage that now is posted on the National Sports Journalism Center’s website. The stories are available for news organizations to publish with permission.

The NSJC works with the Big Ten and other sports organizations in Indianapolis to provide student news bureau teams with opportunities to cover events. In the past, news bureau teams have covered the NCAA final four basketball games and the Indianapolis 500.
