College Football Reporter
Marketing & Communications
New York, NY, USA
USD 75k-135k / year
Posted on Aug 4, 2026
Front Office Sports is seeking a dynamic reporter to lead our coverage of the booming business of college football.
College football is now the clear No. 2 sport in the United States, behind only the NFL. It is also chaotic and in constant flux, without clear rules, leadership, or limits. It’s a target-rich environment for a hungry reporter looking to break news, tell compelling stories, and build their source rolodex.
The ideal candidate is as comfortable appearing on camera and onstage at our live events as they are filing a public records request or cold-calling sources.
This is largely a writing and reporting role for a rising-star reporter who is comfortable with the demands and irregular schedule of a beat and knows how to balance a workload of quick-turn breaking stories and industry-leading enterprise stories.
