Vad Lee Featured on SportsCenter as Big Man on Campus

After leading the Dukes on a late game winning drive against SMU, quarterback Vad Lee was selected as ESPN’s Big Man on Campus. Yesterday Jeannine Edwards and a crew from the worldwide leader spent the day shadowing Lee on campus. The footage was used to create the feature above which ran on this evening’s SportsCenter. And it was pretty damn cool.

    I sometimes wonder if JMU athletes get the same warm and fuzzies that nonathlete students get, considering their choice to go to JMU may have been based off of an opportunity to continue playing their sport and/or receiving a scholarship. Watching that Sports Center clip truly made my heart melt, knowing that Vad got–and is still getting–his JMU warm and fuzzies. It’s a special place indeed.

    Vad is a GREAT ambassador for JMU!!!! That segment is better for JMU than a lot of money spent on advertising, etc. It really demonstrates how sports can be the ‘front porch’ for a university.
