2013 bsn showcase sponsorship
DESCRIPTION
The BSN Collegiate Showcase is a three day event in March 2013 that takes place inside the Stile Athletic Field House on the University of Akron campus. We invite and select the best athletes from over 600 colleges & universities around the country from the FCS, Division II, Division III and NAIA levels to compete in a "one of a kind" event. The weekend will include a kicking showcase, testing combine, position drills, 7-on-7 drills and All Star Game. Invited players will get the chance to perform in front of General Managers, Scouts, and representatives from the (NFL) National Football League, (CFL) Canadian Football League, (AFL) Arena Football League, among other professional football leagues. Every participant will receive the opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of fans, family and pro scouts. In 2012 scouts and coaches attended from the NFL, CFL, UFL, AFL, and more professional football leagues. The BSN Collegiate Showcase uses technology developed by Beyond Sports Network to provide maximum scouting and promotional opportunities for each and every athlete. The benefits that FCS, D2, D3, and NAIA athletes receive are unmatched by other events.TRANSCRIPT

These athletes will also compete in position drills, one-on-one, and a 7-on-7 series in helmets and shoulder pads in order to keep the athlete protected.
