PHILADELPHIA — Growing up as a sports fan outside of Kansas City, Kan., prospective Temple student Megan Wiley used to watch television coverage of her favorite teams with conflicting emotions.
Wiley felt inspired by the spectacle and the storytelling associated with bringing big games into viewers’ homes, making her eager to pursue an on-air career in sports broadcasting. But she would stare at the faces behind the desk and notice that they all belonged to men.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, man, I would love to do something like this, but I don’t look like that,’ ” Wiley said.
