Hi everyone — my name is Billy Bissell, and I’m incredibly excited to share some amazing news.
I’ve been given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work at Super Bowl LX in San Francisco. Not just attend… work it. I’ll be on the ground learning how the world’s biggest sporting event operates, meeting industry leaders, participating in Super Bowl LX Media Week and taking the next huge step toward my dream career in sports and broadcasting.
Before anything else, here’s a little about me in case this is your first time reading this:
I’m a recent graduate of SUNY Cortland, where I studied Sport Management with a concentration in media and sales. I’m passionate about all things sport, but broadcasting is where my heart truly lies. Since my first Living Sport trip to London, I’ve thrown myself into every opportunity I can find:
- Interned with FOX Sports in New York on the Ad Sales team
- Called high school football games for a local radio station
- Worked as an Event Manager for Cortland Football
- Served as the PA Announcer for Homer High School
- Ran the social media for Homer Athletics
I stay busy — borderline psycho busy — but I love every second of it.
My first trip with Living Sport to London was nothing short of incredible. In just 10 days, I met driven, like-minded people who went from strangers to lifelong friends. I had real conversations with sport industry professionals — in another country! Even recently, an executive I met there listened to one of my podcast episodes and reached out on LinkedIn.
These experiences are priceless, and Living Sport has been at the center of them.
A few months ago, I launched The WIT, my platform for podcasting, broadcasting, storytelling, and just creating fun sports content. Now, I get to bring The WIT to the Super Bowl.
The WIT was born from my family's "sense of humor" and to do Whatever It Takes to achieve my goals.
I’ll be capturing behind-the-scenes moments, sharing stories from the trip, and growing the brand while I’m working the biggest sporting event in the world. You can follow the journey on The WIT’s YouTube and Instagram @thebissellwit.
To make this experience possible, I’m raising $5,300 to help cover the costs of the trip.
My fundraising runs from now until February 8th — Super Bowl weekend.
Your support means the world to me. Whether you donate, share, or simply follow along, thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to take you with me to San Francisco and show you the Super Bowl like you’ve never seen it before.
I am grateful for your support- no amount is too small… Thank you very much — and stay tuned for updates, photos, and videos!
