The agreement also calls for several hours of practice coverage to be shown in the days preceding the game. This year’s practice coverage will be shown on Thursday, Jan. 17, on ESPNU.
Prospective NFL draftees playing in the Collegiate Bowl will be arranged into two teams, which will be coached by former Jets and Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards and former Rams head coach Dick Vermeil. The game also serves as an introduction for new members of the NFLPA to how the NFL works as a business.
The 2013 Collegiate Bowl will be broadcast on ESPN2 on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 6:30 p.m. ET.
