Aw.
Notre Dame has its own version of NFL Hard Knocks coming to Showtime this fall, and the Arizona Wildcats nearly followed in its footsteps. Unfortunately, the plan was scuttled. Greg Hansen of the Arizona Daily Star has more.
HBO, which established the template for a reality TV sports series with "Hard Knocks," an unvarnished look inside NFL teams (Houston Texans this year), also hoped to tap into the college football market.
In fact, driven by a global media distributor WME-IMG, the inaugural season of HBO’s college football reality series was set to feature the Arizona Wildcats, narrated by "Hard Knocks" voice Liev Schreiber and a small army of about 30 videographers and HBO-related personnel.
