Report: HBO in discussions with WSU about bringing college ‘Hard Knocks’ show to Pullman

Washington State and its notoriously polarizing head coach, Mike Leach, could be the subjects of a new HBO program modeled around the network’s popular “Hard Knocks” docuseries.

DevilsDigest.com reported Tuesday morning HBO had chosen four college football programs – WSU, Arizona State, Penn State and Alabama – to be highlighted in a show that’ll air later this football season.

The show is expected to include many of the same elements as “Hard Knocks” – the unfiltered, uncut reality show that follows one NFL team through training camp every season, offering behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive interviews. “Hard Knocks,” which has teamed with NFL Films, is currently airing its 14th season, this year featuring the Oakland Raiders.
