When the news dropped that former DePaul women’s basketball player Sarah Kustok had received yet another promotion, this time to the position of Brooklyn Nets primary game analyst for the YES Network, one of her biggest fans wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
“She was a constant competitor, you got to understand that about Sarah,” longtime DePaul women’s basketball coach Doug Bruno said. “[She] is in the business of sports journalism for the achievement of it, not the celebrity of it.”
Inevitably, her illustrious media career, which originated in a college internship and was cultivated through DePaul’s communications program, has turned her into a media celebrity even though that probably wasn’t her intention.
