DALLAS -
The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) has named the University of Utah sports information department to its first "Super 11" field. The award was created to recognize the best sports information departments in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.
Utah's sports information operation is under the direction of Associate Athletics Director Liz Abel. She is assisted by Brooke Frederickson, Kyle Harris, Mike DeVine and Kate Sturgeon.
"There are clearly many outstanding sports information departments across the country," said Tim Griffin, 2010 FWAA President and chairman of the Super 11 Committee. "But our group felt there was a smattering of schools that merited commendation because of their exemplary work above and beyond the call of duty. This is our first collection in what will be an ongoing process."
In addition to Utah, "Super 11" schools (in alphabetical order) are: Buffalo, Clemson, East Carolina, Georgia, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, San Jose State, Southern California (USC) and Texas.
Criteria in determining the winners not only included how press boxes/operations were run, but also the accessibility of players and coaches and the distribution of media materials. The ratings also took into consideration the departments that went the extra mile in servicing the media. The Super 11 committee received input from other FWAA members covering college football during a period from Feb. 1, 2009 through Jan. 31, 2010.
