Joe Castiglione		University of Oklahoma Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione: “The growth of video produced within university athletic departments has been significant over the past few years, and, with the constant improvement of technology and infrastructure, the production quality has proven to be very innovative and creative. Working with our media partners to deliver the best possible product for fans and alumni, no matter what size the screen or where in the world they happen to be, is critical to our overall success. I believe the time is right to recognize the best in this emerging and important part of college sports.”
