Aging back aside, Jason Capel's new career is young indeed
Posted Mar 15, 2008
At 28, Jason Capel looks young with a microphone in his hand as he opines about the ACC tournament for the Raycom sports network. But Capel is transitioning from playing basketball to talking about it on TV because his back feels very old. "I've been going to a chiropractor since I was 13. I actually played a lot longer than I thought I would." All along, he prepared for the day when the doctors' warnings would prove true. He majored in communications at Chapel Hill, anticipating TV employment.
