At the 2026 Sports Emmy® Awards, a team of Morehouse College student filmmakers took home the $25,000 Coca-Cola HBCU Sports Production Grant... proving once again that HBCUs are shaping the future of media, not just participating in it.
For our community, this puts HBCU excellence front and center in a space that shapes how the world sees sports, culture, and storytelling. This is proof that our creatives belong behind the camera, in the control room, and at the decision-making tables of sports media.
From the classroom to the Emmys, this win is bigger than the moment. It’s the next generation of Black creatives claiming space behind the camera in an industry that defines culture.
Could HBCUs be the future of sports media? 🖤
