NEW YORK -- Texas A&M Athletics' 12th Man Productions were honored as finalists for the 2020 SVG College Sports Media Awards in three categories, the Sports Video Group and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics announced.
"Our No. 1 job at 12th Man Productions is to be effective storytellers for our athletics programs at Texas A&M," associate athletics director, 12th Man Productions Andy Richardson said. "These nominations highlight everything we do from live broadcasts to our TV show, as well as student-edited content. I am proud of the commitment from our staff to be the best and there is nothing more satisfying than to receive recognition from industry peers."
The award ceremonies are slated for the SVG YouTube channel on Thursday, June 25 at 6 p.m., and will be hosted by an all-star collection of CSMA hosts from the past, including Rece Davis, Jen Lada, Tom Rinaldi, Joel Klatt and Andy Katz.
Since its inception, the SVG/NACDA College Sports Media Awards have recognized the best in college sports video production. Over the past decade, they have celebrated those who have pushed the envelope and set a higher standard for all who are part of this great industry. The CSMA issues awards in five categories across four divisions.
12th Man Productions was named finalists in the category Outstanding Program Series – Collegiate Athletics for 'The Pulse: Texas A&M Football'. The program earned a Bronze Telly last month. The 30-minute show, which aired nationally on ESPNU last season, highlights exclusive content inside Aggie Football under the guidance of head coach Jimbo Fisher, giving fans a unique perspective of the plays and the playmakers for the Maroon & White. The weekly show is produced by assistant athletics director Buddy Kimberlin, production manager Cade Key, senior producer Mason Flick and producer/host Will Johnson.
The other two categories earning recognition for 12th Man Productions included Outstanding Live Game Production – Collegiate Student, for their work in the volleyball match of Texas A&M vs. Rice, and Outstanding Program Series – Collegiate Student, for 'Texas A&M Men's Basketball – Run It Back'.
Texas A&M was one of 17 schools to be named finalist in multiple categories and one of 10 honored in three areas.
