Three Auburn University students are up for a College Television Award.

Zach Card (director/ producer/writer), Colin Beyersdorf (writer) and Mikayla Kelly (writer) have been nominated in the Sports category for an episode of “Sports Night in Auburn,” a weekly sports program on the university’s student-run television station Eagle Eye TV. The episode was selected by Television Academy members from more than 120 submissions from colleges and universities nationwide.

The program features sports coverage on Auburn athletics, including Auburn’s basketball win over Ole Miss Rebels, gymnast Suni Lee’s perfect 10 on the beam, and Auburn team updates including golf, softball and tennis.

“Auburn is a huge sports college [but] no one gives updates on the smaller sports such as softball or equestrian,” Card said. “That’s where ‘Sports Night in Auburn’ came in. It’s a sports news show that [covers] every Auburn sport.”

Nominees of the 42nd College Television Awards also have the opportunity to participate in professional development programs March 29 to April 1. These include a special screening of all nominated projects attended by members of the Television Academy, an industry-professionals networking breakfast, Hollywood studio visits and more career-enhancing opportunities before they hit the red-carpet awards show.

In addition, nominees and winners automatically become members of the Television Academy Foundation's alumni family, gaining access to year-round networking opportunities, events and professional development resources. Prominent College Television Awards alumni include CNN national correspondent Natasha Chen, Tom Clancy’s “Jack Ryan” Director Patricia Riggen, “Maya and the Three” Executive Producer Jorge Gutierrez and “Love, Victor” Executive Producer Jason Ensler. The foundation’s annual College Television Awards recognizes and rewards excellence in student-produced programs. Winners in the competition will be announced by television stars at the awards ceremony in Hollywood April 1, 2023.
