Final Project

March Madness is probably one of the most watched sporting events in the world. Brackets are filled out and each fan cringes while their teams win and lose. Yet, the average fan only fills out a bracket for the men’s side, but what about the women?

As a female athlete it’s disheartening when all the fans leave right after the men’s game or only stay for the first 3 minutes of our game. On the D.I level, March Madness is also going on for the women! They start with 65 teams, and then soon have their sweet sixteen, then a final four, then eventually a national champion. The process is the same but the only difference is the number of people who are actually interested.

For this reason, my final project will explore the disinterest in women’s sports. The number one focus in my television story will be college student’s participation or lack thereof in the Women’s side of March Madness. My TV story will include interviews with their reactions.

My video package will also explore the overall take on women’s sports, not only basketball. The second focus of my project will move to Emerson Athletics (this may be a second news package not sure). Sports in general are not big here, but of course, the men have more fans at all of their sporting events.

In the end, my project will touch upon the disinterest in the Women’s March Madness and the disinterest in women’s sports all together.
