American football fans in South East Asia will now get a unique opportunity to follow their favourite sport as Asia’s No. 1 Sports Broadcaster.
ESPN STAR Sports brings an action packed offering of NCAA football starting tomorrow morning at 7 am on ESPN, where Louisville takes on Middle Tennessee at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.
NCAA Football, the definitive hotbed for professional football talent in the US, will be broadcast on ESPN tomorrow onwards with fans getting up to two games per week from such powerhouse conferences as the Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific Ten (Pac Ten) and South Eastern Conference (SEC). College Football fans can look forward to catching up to twenty six matches this season plus Bowl Games including the Capital One Bowl and the ‘Granddaddy of them all’ – the Rose Bowl, the oldest and the most prestigious bowl game.
Mr. Manu Sawhney, Executive Vice President, Programming & Marketing, ESPN STAR Sports, said: “College Football is one of the top five most popular spectator sports in America and is very popular among the American sports fans in Asia. With the viewer friendly timings for this in South East Asia, fans can now follow their favourite sport with great enthusiasm”.
As the College Football season kick starts everyone is looking at who would topple the Trojans with USC beginning the season as No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 for the third time in the past four years. Distant 2nd and 3rd, LSU and West Virginia have a task cut out for them as the defending champion Florida is placed far below at 6th position in the rankings.
