16 years of honoring excellence in collegiate sports broadcasters
The STAA All-America Program recognizes the most outstanding collegiate radio and TV sports broadcasters.
Founded in 2009, the All-America Program and Jim Nantz Award is presented by Sportscasters Talent Agency of America. Each year our judging panel is comprised of leading members of the sportscasting industry and former Jim Nantz Award winners.
Awards include the Jim Nantz Trophy, STAA membership services, and First Team All-America certificates. The Nantz Award winner also receives hotel accommodations and admission to all the activities of the annual National Sports Media Association (NSMA) awards weekend in North Carolina, culminating in the NSMA awards banquet where the Jim Nantz Trophy is presented.
