For the first time, college football fans will witness what a referee sees on the gridiron. Through a partnership with GoPro, FOX Sports will provide viewers of the Big Ten Football Championship on Saturday the unique in-game footage from the perspective of the referees.
As part of the collaboration, GoPro and FOX worked in tandem to design a specific hat for referees to give fans a different vantage point as they watch the Wisconsin and Penn State broadcast.
“It’s in our FOX Sports DNA to constantly challenge our team to come up with new and interesting ways to enhance the viewing experience, bring fans closer to the action and make the story of sports even more compelling … this project with GoPro accomplishes all of that,” Michael Davies, FOX Sports Senior Vice President Technical & Field Operations, said in a statement.
