The Write Stuff: How ESPN's Jeremy Schaap Turned a Cornell Passion into Unrivaled Sports Reporting Greatness
You’ll love this conversation with the legendary Jeremy Schaap, Cornell alum and Emmy-winning ESPN sports journalist. From his roots at the Cornell Daily Sun—where he spent more time than anywhere else on campus—to his 30+ years at ESPN, Jeremy has covered every major sporting event and the most fascinating athlete stories.
Known for award-winning documentaries like E:60 and Outside the Lines, he brings unparalleled depth and passion to his storytelling.
Today, Jeremy reflects on his time at Cornell—his favorite classes, close friendships, and how both his college years and his father, fellow Cornell alum Dick Schaap, shaped his path to becoming a world-class journalist.
Also, we want to be best, best friends with him. Yes, Jeremy?
Special thanks to Jimmy Pitaro, Bill Hofheimer, Bea Panitz and PETER KAPLAN for helping to make this interview happen.
