An emotional Katie Schumacher-Cawley accepted the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance with her husband and children looking on. The Penn State women’s volleyball coach was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in September. She continued coaching without missing a practice and became the first woman to guide a team to the NCAA national championship.
ESPN announced in June that Gillis would host the 33rd ESPY Awards. He previously appeared on “College GameDay” — even rubbing analyst Nick Saban the wrong way with a comment by calling him Alabama Jones — and is an avid Eagles and Notre Dame fan.
