BYUtv's 'Big Stories' Comes Back for Season Four
BYUtv is excited to announce the fourth season of its acclaimed documentary series, "Big Stories," premiering this fall. With twelve new episodes lined up, the series will delve into the lives and journeys of prominent figures in college athletics, showcasing their inspiring tales that resonate beyond mere scores.
A Focus on What Truly Matters
Unlike traditional sports shows that often get caught up in game analysis and team strategies, "Big Stories" aims to highlight the heartwarming and transformative aspects of sports. This season will feature remarkable individuals, including NFL legends like Lance Briggs, who overcame personal challenges and now empowers youth through his foundation, and Chris Zorich, a Notre Dame icon who now fights against food scarcity.
Each episode, lasting between seven to ten minutes, will air before home and away games on BYUtv, a network that reaches around 70 million households. Fans can stream these episodes for free on the BYUtv app, contributing to the accessibility of uplifting content without any subscriptions or advertisements.
Stories of Triumph and Community
This season's themes extend beyond football, stretching into six additional collegiate sports such as pickleball, wrestling, and soccer. Each story is a testament to resilience and community spirit, beginning with:
- - Utah Tech’s Remarkable Pickleball Team: Featuring a 16-year-old leading his team to national success, embodying the familial bond that propels them.
- - Lance Briggs' Inspiring Journey: From humble beginnings in Sacramento, Briggs now ensures that underprivileged youth receive support and opportunities.
- - Zack Golditch and Life After Trauma: A survivor of the Aurora Theater Shooting, Golditch transformed his experience into a mission of community service.
A Wider Lens on College Athletics
BYUtv’s "Big Stories" also seeks to address other significant societal issues, intertwining sports narratives with broader community impact. From the captivating journey of twin brothers Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin, who faced physical challenges together in the NFL, to Garett Bolles, who turned his troubled teen years into a story of redemption and achievement.
The series intends to bring forth unique perspectives from around the world, with stories coming from diverse backgrounds and locations—from Chicago to the Democratic Republic of Congo. BYUtv aims to shine a light on those undervalued voices, turning the spotlight on the positive narratives that define their communities.
