College GameDay in Bloomington: IU experts available

This weekend, ESPN’s College GameDay heads to Bloomington for the first time on a Saturday as the Indiana University Hoosiers take on the Washington Huskies.

This will be College GameDay’s second visit to Bloomington and its first with its full Saturday pageantry on the IU campus. The show will air for three hours, from 9 a.m. to noon EDT, hosted by Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit and former Indiana head coach Lee Corso.

With last week’s Big Noon Kickoff crew in town, and national outlets taking notice of the IU football team’s winning record, IU experts are available to comment on the economic and marketing impact in the city of Bloomington.

For more information, contact Teresa Mackin at tmackin@iu.edu or 317-274-5432, or Vic Ryckaert at viryck@iu.edu.
