Holly Rowe is a sports telecaster currently working for the sports television network, ESPN. Rowe is best known as a sideline reporter for college football games which are telecast on ESPN.
Rowe has been with ESPN since August 1998 in the capacity of a full-time college football sideline reporter. In that capacity, she has been a part of numerous regular season games and post-season bowls.
Before working full-time as a college football sideline reporter, she served as a part-time sideline reporter in certain ESPN broadcasts during the course of 1997. (Prior to that, with ABC Sports, in both 1995 and 1996.)
With ESPN, Rowe has also been a part of broadcasting women's college basketball games, and women’s college volleyball (both since 1998; generally in a play-by-play capacity as opposed to her college football sideline duties). Other broadcasts that Rowe has been a part of during her time at ESPN include play-by-play for Women's World Cup matches, coverage of the Running of the Bulls, coverage of swimming, and broadcasts of track & field events.
Being one of a minority of females in the sports broadcasting industry, Rowe has been profiled by other media and news organizations.
On October 1, 2005, according to the Chicago Tribune, during a game between Notre Dame and Purdue that Franklin was calling, Rowe praised Purdue defensive coordinator Brock Spack for using all three of their remaining timeouts on defense despite trailing by four touchdowns near the end of the game. Rowe was quoted as saying, "If the coaches are giving up, what does that say to the players?" Franklin responded to Rowe's question, "Holly, it's not giving up. It's 49-21, sweetheart."
