Mountaineers In The Spotlight

CHOOSING TO BECOME A MOUNTAINEER IS SPECIAL. WITHOUT A PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM IN THE STATE, FOLKS ACROSS THE STATE AND THROUGHOUT THE REGION LOVE WEST VIRGINIA ATHLETICS.

WVU women’s basketball is passionate, a point of pride and a way of life, and also boasts a significant presence on the regional and national scene. No school helps its student-athletes more than the people at WVU. West Virginia is a place where the natives are as rock solid as the mountains for which the state is known.

MOUNTAINEERS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Mountaineers have the unique opportunity to represent themselves, their teammates and their university to news media, alumni, friends, family and the general public. Your interaction with these groups is also part of your educational process. If you take advantage of these opportunities, it can have a positive effect, not only on your career as a student-athlete at West Virginia, but also on your life after you have donned the Old Gold and Blue. West Virginia is covered extensively by local and national media. WVU is featured on broadcasts that range from ESPN to FOX sports, thanks to the Big 12 Conference’s television partnerships. Since 2016, the WVU Women’s Basketball Coaches Show has broadcasted throughout the season live from Kegler’s Sports Bar and Lounge, hosted by the Mountaineers’ play-by-play broadcaster.
