ESPN ESPY’s and Summer X Games in future for Lynn student just back from J-term
Sports Management professor Chad Barr and his students have been back on campus for two weeks now after their January Term trip working the ESPN XGames in Colorado. That is – except for one of them. Word is that Bradon Briggs got left behind in Denver. On purpose!
X Games organizers were so impressed with Briggs’ work that they asked him to stay on longer to finish out the competition. His professors and dean back here in Boca promptly signed off on the assignment (which kept him out of the first few days of Spring classes). He’s catching up on his work now. And he’ll need to – cause he’s got more work with ESPN on the way. Rumor has it ESPN has asked him to join them for its annual awards show – the Espy’s – in a few months, and also to intern with them at this summer’s snow-less X Games. (This further proof that Lynn is THE place to go if you want a career on the business side of the sports industry!)
Speaking of the J-term trip, there’s a new video up on the Web with photos. Check it out:
