Alum to Cover GameDay
Winged Vision will shoot aerial video
It’s no secret that ESPN’s Saturday morning College GameDay is returning to downtown Fargo, N.D., for the second year in a row. NDSU is one of four non-FBS schools to host College GameDay since 1993 and the first to do it twice. But Dragon alumni will be excited to hear that Bob Mikkelson, a ’72 mass communications graduate and president of Winged Vision, will be covering GameDay as well.
His company is a pioneer in aerial sports broadcasting and has covered events like the NFL’s Sunday Night Football, the PGA Tour, the World Cup finals, Triple Crown racing, Super Bowls and the Olympics. Mikkelson has won two primetime and four sports Emmys and was featured in the 2008 CBS sports special “The Best Shot in Golf.
