When a Michigan news station discovered it couldn’t show highlights of the national championship game until the broadcast was completely over, its sports crew found a creative loophole.
Mid-Michigan NOW sportscaster Sam Ali told viewers on Monday night that the station wasn’t allowed to show any actual clips from the Michigan Wolverines’ 34–13 win over the Washington Huskies “due to certain broadcast restrictions.” Most news stations would have left it at that, but Ali and the sports crew instead cooked up a delightful surprise.
Because the station couldn’t show highlights from the National Championship, it drew them instead.
