Paola Boivin was a sports reporter with the Arizona Republic for 22 years and now works as a professor at Arizona State's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism where she is also the director of the Cronkite News Phoenix Sports Bureau. She has been a frequent guest on ESPN and she has covered multiple Olympics, Final Fours, Super Bowls and everything in between.
Paola was the first female sports reporter inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame and only the second woman to ever sit on the College Football Playoff Selection Committee (the first was former secretary of state, Condaleeza Rice).
In this week’s episode, Paola shares what it was like to be a trailblazer in sports reporting, which stories were her favorite to cover, her thoughts on the way NIL deals are changing the college landscape, and, of course, her thoughts on Taylor & Travis.
