Andy WittryMy name is Andy Wittry and I'm a sports writer with bylines at national outlets such as Stadium, Sports Illustrated, Sporting News and NCAA.com, as well as newspapers like the IndyStar, Louisville Courier-Journal and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
I specialize in stories involving data analysis – including topics such as when college kickers make and miss field goals, college football's shift towards a running back by committee approach, the relationship between recruiting rankings and wins in college basketball – as well as public records reporting, with stories such as a behind-the-scenes look at Southern Miss' decision to not hire Art Briles as its offensive coordinator, a detailed examination of Kentucky's financial and travel commitment to men's basketball recruiting and a collection of the perks that lie within men's basketball coaching contracts that are beyond a coach's base salary and standard incentives. I'm a graduate of the School of Journalism at Indiana University, where I started my career in sports media writing for the Indiana Daily Student, co-hosting multiple radio shows on WIUX and broadcasting Indiana University sporting events for the Big Ten Network's Student U program.
