"FAU Football: Owls Rising" is a gritty, unscripted series that thrusts viewers into the heart of Florida Atlantic University's struggling football program as it faces a make-or-break season. Led by ambitious Coach Tom Herman and mentored by unorthodox business mogul Shawn Meaike, the FAU Owls aren't just battling for victories – they're pioneering a new era of college athletics through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. The series focuses on a core group of players, including talented but troubled quarterback Cam, whose journey from obscurity to potential star forms the emotional core of the show.
