Broadcasting career

ESPN

Rowe has been with ESPN in some capacity since 1995. Before becoming a full-time college football sideline reporter with ESPN in August 1998, she served as a part-time sideline reporter with ABC Sports 1995 and 1996, and then for certain ESPN broadcasts during the 1997 season. She has been a part of numerous regular season games and post-season bowl games.[4]

With ESPN, Rowe has worked women's college basketball games and women's college volleyball, generally in a play-by-play capacity (as opposed to her college football sideline duties). Other broadcasts that Rowe has been a part of during her time at ESPN include play-by-play for Women's World Cup matches, coverage of the Running of the Bulls, coverage of swimming, and broadcasts of track and field events.

Being a woman in the sports broadcasting industry, Rowe has been profiled by other media and news organizations.[5]

She is the lead sideline reporter for ESPN's coverage of Saturday-night college football (including the College Football Playoff), women's college basketball (including the NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament), the WNBA and playoffs, the Women's College World Series and NCAA Division I women's volleyball tournament, and also works on men's college basketball and NBA.[6]

Other work

Before and during her time with ESPN, Rowe has worked with several other broadcast organizations, as a broadcaster for women's college basketball games broadcast for Fox Sports starting in 1993.[7] Rowe also worked as an analyst for the now-defunct WNBA’s Utah Starzz. Whilst working for the Blue & White Sports Network in Provo, Utah, Rowe covered several Western Athletic Conference (WAC) sporting events. She also held a position on the team at CBS, which produces the men's Final Four. Rowe joined the Utah Jazz broadcast team in 2021 as an analyst.[8]
