UF holds its fair share of the national spotlight too, as media outlets such as ESPN, USA Today and Sports Illustrated track the progress of not only the nationally ranked football team, but also the careers of the many Gator world-class athletes. Lo- cally, more than dozen media outlets regularly cover the Gators. In addition to daily coverage from the local media, many of the state’s larger papers such as the Orlando Sentinel, Palm Beach Post and the St. Petersburg Times employ beat writers who live in Gainesville year-round for the sole purpose of covering Gator teams. The UF Communications Department also helps student-athletes’ hometown media follow the careers of Gators from their area.
