community launched by ESPN founder Bill
Rasmussen, today announced plans to televise 500 college football and
1,500 basketball games live in 2010-2011.

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.
