The winner will receive a one-year salary, all the electronics for the ultimate sports pad, and will have the opportunity to share thoughts, insights, and content with fans nationwide via the @XFINITYSports Twitter handle on a daily basis. This is truly a dream job opportunity for anyone looking to make a name for themselves in the world of sports and social media.

Here’s how it works:

From January 13 – February 6, you can log on to Facebook.com/XFINITY and submit a :30-2:00 video on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab that shows why your sports knowledge, social media expertise, personality, and passion for Comcast products and services makes you the perfect candidate for the job.

The top video submissions will be featured on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab located on Facebook.com/XFINITY for fans to vote on from February 9-19. The five entrants who tally the most votes will advance to the final round of the contest where they will cover one of five premier sports events the weekend of March 8-11. Following that weekend, a panel of judges will evaluate each performance and announce the winner of the contest by March 25th!

okay, now checking to make sure this is BSD. cool. so, congrats!!! you are a "sponsorable" website again. IIRC, the last "sponsored" article via SBNation was pulled from BSD.

this is another sign that the media narrative is shifting to a more favorable stance for PSU.

We are happy to be back in the good graces of the advertising universe.

This thing was available to all NCAA bloggers, but we’re just happy it wasn’t “all NCAA bloggers except for Penn State”.

Is this a replacement for Craig James

because he, you know, allegedly kicked five hookers while he was at SMU.
