Eric Bohannon, is the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Athletic Broadcast and Communications here at Old Dominion University. He is the primary contact for sports such as Football, Mens and Women’s Swimming, and Sailing. Before coming aboard ODU’s Communications department he was a sport information intern at Appalachian State.

I want to pursue a career in sports broadcasting and seeing that I have so many resources attending ODU it was a no brainer. Being able to have the opportunity to learn a thing about the sport communications field. Also utilizing the opportunity to gain some experience since I am on campus student. I decided to reach to Mr. Bohannon via email through the ODU athletics staff directory page. What I then said to him was along the lines of sharing my interest in becoming a sports broadcaster. I love the game of football and that happened to be one of the areas that he covers. I played football my entire life and I played for the love of the game seeing that we shared the same interest. Noticing in his short biography on the page about him playing football for his alma mater Mansfield University. Unfortunately I did not receive the opportunity to play football in college, so hopefully I can learn about his experience especially in a different time. Involving how the game changed over time and things of that nature.
