9, 2012  For the second installment of our Alumni Spotlight
series, caught up with former field hockey player and current
analyst and co-host of the Big Ten Network's "The Women's Show"
Kara Lentz (2003-06), who discussed how she got the job at BTN
and who helped her on her path at Michigan as well as her
favorite feature stories for the network. How did you get the
opportunity to work at the Big Ten Network?  Kara Lentz: Well I
think one of the great things about Michigan Athletics is that
it's a great networking tool. That definitely worked for me in a
lot of ways. I graduated the same year that the network was
launching and I knew that they were going to broadcast field
hockey games and things of that sort so being a communications
major and minoring in field hockey, I figured I'd try to utilize
both of my majors. I basically just pushed and shoved. I
contacted the Big Ten. This
