A new class and show at Butler <a style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"BU:30\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/bu30.\">BU:30 <\/a>will begin this fall and carries high aspirations as to where it will end up. Professor Eric Esterline had the idea of revamping the sports show at Butler previously known as the \u201cBulldog Blitz\u201d. His idea, <a style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"BU:30\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/bu30\">BU:30<\/a> aims for a more up-beat and interactive setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0This new sports show will be student ran and produced with the help of Esterline. Students have already gained access to events around Indianapolis to cover not only Butler Sports teams but also professional sports teams in the Indianapolis area (Colts, Indians and Pacers just to name a few).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0BU:30 will be produced by a class of students here at Butler like Mark mentioned that will count as credit toward the sports media major.I was able to catch up with a couple students involved with the new show who expressed a lot of excitement with the production:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cNow the fact that we have all the people in the class that we do, we feel very strongly that we can put together a quality show week in and week out.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mark Pearson<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_78\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-78\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/swells\/files\/2014\/09\/10533759_10201868726714594_8373303037156522537_n-159x300.jpg\" alt=\"Pictured: Junior sports media major Mark Pearson who will be helping head up BU:30\" width=\"159\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-78\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pictured: Junior sports media major Mark Pearson who will be helping head up BU:30<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0Mark Pearson is a Junior here at Butler and is majoring in the newly founded sports media major.

Beats range from Butler football to the Indianapolis Colts. I could try and describe how the show will be laid out but the best way is for you to tune in yourself.
