MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State University telecommunications students will get some hands-on experience this fall working at two broadcasts of Monday Night Football.

Saturday, Sept. 23, telecommunications professor Tim Pollard and telecommunications instructor Rich Swingley will take nine Ball State students to Indianapolis to begin preparations for the Colt’s appearance on Monday Night Football. The Colts face the Jacksonville Jaguars and kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

During the broadcast the students will assist the ABC network crew wherever they are needed. The students are being chosen from a field of 50 who applied to help.

Pollard and Swingley will also take students to help with the Colt’s Dec. 11 Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills.
