Drake to play game in Africa

Post by slammer50111 »

Drake plans to create a never-before moment: The Bulldogs’ football team is scheduled to play what university officials believe is the first official game of American football on the continent of Africa in May 2011.

Athletic director Sandy Hatfield Clubb confirmed the trip Tuesday night.

The only non-financial obstacle to the trip would exist if Drake was picked for NCAA “bridge program” that allows non-NCAA programs to be considered for NCAA postseason playoff selection — playing at a level similar to Northern Iowa’s postseason playoffs.

Yea, I must've missed the thread about Drake dropping out of the NCAA.

Maybe they meant CAA. :D
