I wouldn't have any problem seeing how a college angler would stack up against the pros. I'd root for him/her everytime, being the young gun underdog skipping class to fish in the classic would be overwhelming, and fun to watch! Maybe by then all colleges will have a team and a school owned boat...I know of two colleges that have purchased brand new Rangers for their club, so it is very possible!

Go to this site for more info on the college angling scene:

Air times for that tournament are:
November 1, 2007 - 5:00am ESPNU
November 2, 2007 - 5:00am ESPN2

It's a step in the right direction for college angling and it's only a matter of time before either BASS or FLW takes notice.

Here's another one, television air dates will probably be in January, last year's shows on this site as well:
