WHAT DOES CHIP CARTER HAVE TO SAY?

“ The hours can get kind of long sometimes…they can be anywhere from 2pmuntil Midnight or 9am until Midnight. It just depends on the season andwhat is going on during that time…but it’s all worth it in the end.”

“ I love covering USF stuff, especially USF football! We film a sit-down everyTuesday with Skip Holtz called ‘Skip and Chip’ and it’s kind of a littlepersonality show….that guys a riot!”

“ What’s really fun is you get to meet really cool people! Yeah, I get to go toalmost every major sporting event in the country but I also get to do a lotof different things with the people that are the best in the business. I havebeen hang-gliding and scuba diving with the best of the best…so that isdefinitely one of the coolest parts of my job.”
