Dear College Sports,

College sports has always provided an avenue to hope, and this past year was no different. This public service announcement aims to capture how college athletes, coaches and administrators have forged through an isolating pandemic stronger together and how a return to normal will be even better than before.

After reaching the pinnacle of collegiate competition, we asked NCAA championship participants to reflect on their experiences as college athletes. Individuals across many sports and all three divisions wrote letters to their sports, reflecting on the impacts, life lessons and moments they’ll cherish forever.
