BALTIMORE - This summer, approximately 112 collegiate bass anglers will compete in the 2008 Under Armour College Bass National Championship. From July 9 - 10, the anglers will fish Lake Maumelle in Little Rock, Ark. After the Day Two weigh-in on July 10, the tournament will move to a mystery lake that will be new to all competitors for the final day of competition on July 11. CollegeBass.com will stream daily weigh-ins live, and complete tournament coverage will air on ESPNU later this summer.
The Under Armour College Bass National Championship was created to support bass fishing at the college club level, and our incredible growth every single year proves just how popular this sport is among college students," said Steve Levi, general manager of fishing properties for Career Sports & Entertainment, the integrated sports and entertainment agency that developed the tournament. "The beauty of the event is that we've created a level playing field that allows small and large schools to compete against each other, and just about every college or university in the country can participate. I can't think of another college sport where that is true."
