Classic Kickoff
Ninety-one (91) black college players will gather in New Orleans this weekend for the inaugural HBCU All-Star Football Classic.

The game is set for Monday, Jan. 17 at 4 p.m., at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans and is the culmination of six days of activities to acquaint the group of black college senior all-star football players with football at the next level.

The game and concept is the brainchild of former NFL linebacker, Richard Harvey, who started the project last year by bringing the players in for workouts and activities resembling the NFL Combine. No game was played last year.

This year the players will be exposed to a host of events related to making the game of football a profession. The activities include seminars on financial planning, interviewing, nutrition and training and a session with representatives of the NFL Players Association. Additionally, the players will participate in community outreach programs, a youth camp, a panel discussion and an awards gala.

The teams are divided into East and West squads with players from the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference and Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association on the East roster and Southwestern Athletic Conference and Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference players on the West. Former longtime NFL assistant coaches Milt Jackson (East) and Willie Shaw (West) will serve as head coaches.

Among the players expected to participate are 18 players from the East and 17 players from the West that were all-conference selections, a host of BCSP "Baad Team" members and several named to all-American teams.
