ESPN's 'College Football Live' coming to Iowa . . . eventually

I like this idea. College football might be the most regional of all sports. If you're an ESPN college football show and you have about 50 days to kill before camps start opening, why not do something like this?

The following is from ESPN:

“College Football Live 50 States Tour” Celebrates Amateur Football Across Every State June 1 to August 7

Every state has a football story, memorable moment, legendary coach, great players, rivalries, or esteemed high school. ESPN's College Football Live will offer a daily showcase of the best and greatest of amateur football – college and high school -- from all 50 United States and the District of Columbia with “College Football Live 50 States Tour” from June 1 to August 7.

College Football Live, a weekday afternoon studio show dedicated to college football aired weekdays generally at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, will explore topics specific to every state, including greatest plays and games; and best coaches, players and high schools across 43 episodes. Some episodes will focus on two or three states while select states will be spread out over two shows.

“College Football Live 50 States Tour” will feature live interviews related to the state, including with prominent football figures, current coaches, and local writers. The shows will also include debate between analysts and an online component for fans to pick each state's best coach, player and team. The 30-minute, viewer interactive show, will utilize content from ESPN.com and ESPN RISE, ESPN's multimedia content brand dedicated to serving the high school athlete audience, and incorporate the fan's opinion through ESPN Mobile and ESPN.com applications.
