NFL Network Goes Collegiate

By Thomas Umstead -- Multichannel News, 10/01/2007

Not content with sitting on the sidelines awaiting its first live National Football League game telecast, the NFL Network will air a live college football game on Oct. 6.

The network will air the 2007 Circle City Classic game between Historically Black Colleges Winston-Salem State University Rams and Florida A&M University Rattlers this Saturday from Indianapolis, beginning at 4 p.m. The game will mark the network’s first ever regular-season live college football telecast, although it has aired bowl games in the past.

Proceeds from the 13-year old Circle City Classic game will help fund scholarships and youth initiatives for its founders, the Indiana Black Expo and the Indiana Sports Corporation. Since 1984, over $1 million have been awarded to deserving Indiana natives who pursue higher education.
