The game is set to be televised on ESPN during college football season’s opening weekend – on Aug. 31 at 11:45 a.m. EDT – the 2014 MEAC/SWAC Challenge will be the first meeting between the 2 universities and is supposed to attract more than 20,000 fans!
“With its celebration of diversity, football and HBCU heritage, we always look forward to the MEAC/SWAC Challenge,” said Nancy Gidusko, director of Corporate Citizenship for the Walt Disney World Resort. “But as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the weekend’s events here in Central Florida, this year promises to be even more fantastic.”
The MEAC/SWAC Challenge Presented by Disney is more than a gridiron spectacle – it’s an HBCU tradition that celebrates the contributions of historically black institutions and their alumni. The four days of events include a high school career seminar, band showcase, a Legends’ Reception and the Sunday game.
The game will be played for the first time at Bright House Networks Stadium on the UCF campus, while the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium undergoes renovations. For the past 6 years, Disney has sponsored the event as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to diversity, education and community. Since its inception, the game has showcased 13 different HBCU institutions.
Tickets for the game, which features the North Carolina A&T Aggies of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and the Alabama A&M Bulldogs of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) – can be purchased by going to www.meacswacchallenge.com or calling 800-745-3000
