Two Bradley students intern for NBC at Super Bowl

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Two local college students experienced a chance of a lifetime, which culminated Sunday night at the Super Bowl.

Bradley University Seniors Zach Keesee and Josh Koebert were selected by NBC to intern behind the scenes at Super Bowl XLVI. The two sports communications majors arrived in Indianapolis Monday, and they say the work hasn't stopped since.

"I'm learning a lot about what it takes to run something like this from a corporate side and a communication side for something as big as NBC, and everything that goes into it. All the work, all the different publicity and promotion," said Bradley student Josh Koebert.

"I think networking is going to be the big key that I take away from this. You don't get to meet the professionals in this industry too often, and working with a company like NBC gives you a great advantage over people who haven't had this," said Bradley student Zach Keesee.

For Keesee, this week has been a bit of a dry run. NBC also chose him, and nine other students to intern this summer at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
