When Noah Knigga made an early January social media post about an upcoming unofficial visit to a Big 12 program, he had no idea that it would create a firestorm that went viral. It was such a big story that ESPN’s Pat McAfee picked up on it, leading to a whole new level of buzz.
The sensation about Knigga was, rather obviously, the pronunciation of his name. He has clarified that it isn’t pronounced with a silent ‘K,’ leading to a huge sigh of relief from television broadcasters and public address announcers.
