Placing Mobile Broadcast Units on 30 Campuses Nationwide

Grand Island, Nebraska – February 2, 2010, 10:28 a.m. Eastern Time – College Fanz™ Sports Network, the world’s largest online college sports community launched by ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen, today announced plans to televise 500 college football and 1,500 basketball games live in 2010-2011.

“We are building upon the solid foundation established this year with the inaugural season of our College Fanz 2009-2010 NAIA Football and NAIA Basketball Game of the Week broadcasts.” said Rasmussen, founding partner and Chief Executive Officer of College Fanz. “The dedication of the teams and the enthusiasm of the fans I saw on campuses across the country were absolutely electric. This nationwide reaction led us to expand the universe of events that can be viewed live by the students, fans and alumni of hundreds of colleges and universities.”

According to Rasmussen, 30 campuses will be selected to host a Mobile Broadcast Unit for the 2010-2011season. “The College Fanz Mobile Broadcast Unit on Campus Program will provide an unprecedented educational and professional opportunity for college students planning to work in the burgeoning sports industry,” he explained.

Each four-year college and university with an NCAA or NAIA athletic program and a robust Media Department is invited to apply to be included in the College Fanz Mobile Broadcast Unit on Campus Program.
