96 ESPN+ Broadcasts for Jacksonville University

Gemstone Media produced 96 ESPN+ broadcasts for Jacksonville University from August 2024 through May 2025! We are honored to have played our part in this non-stop athletic season, we are delighted by its success, and we are proud to share these reflections.

Rick Canter, JU Associate Vice President/Deputy Athletics Director:

“The hard work and dedication you all brought to our games this year was nothing short of tremendous. To see how far our quality production has come from my first year to now is amazing.

“I want to thank the entire Gemstone team for simply caring so much. I can’t tell you how many times I received a text talking about how our production was much better than our competitors’. We appreciate your constant support of our department, and I look forward to continuing our work together.”

George Birnbaum, Gemstone Media CEO & Founder:

“Our Tristan Morhous and Ryan Smolka were the backbone of this effort, taking JU ESPN presentations to a new level of sports entertainment excellence!

“And we appreciate the constant support from JU to ensure that we put on high quality, engaging broadcasts to represent the university proudly.”

Tristan Morhous, Gemstone Media Director & Production Supervisor:

“I cannot tell you how many times we have had parents, fans, students, come up to us to tell us how appreciative they are for what we are doing.

“The growth of the student workers has been something to be proud of as well. A lot of the students stuck it out till the very end of the season, which showed their commitment to the program.”

Reece Fishback, JU Assistant Director of Events & Operations:

“From all of us at JU, we greatly appreciate your team’s hard work and dedication this past year to help put on some of, if not the best, quality productions in the ASUN conference that even rival some Power 4 productions.

“We look forward to building upon our partnership and continuing to put out great broadcasts for our JU community. Looking forward to 2025-2026!”
