User:Mohktal/HBCU Senior Bowl

The HBCU Senior Bowl is a college football all-star game including players from colleges and universities associated with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).

Game Structure
The game is structured around an East-West format, with the East team composed of players from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) college football conferences and the West team composed of players from the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) college football conferences. All participating players are draft-eligible seniors who have exhausted their college football eligibility.

In addition to playing the game, participants are often evaluated by scouts and personnel directors from professional leagues such as the NFL, Canadian Football League, and various indoor football league teams. Players are also allowed to work out for scouts in drills similar to the annual NFL Scouting Combine. They also receive guidance on the business side of football, in areas such as finance and legal representation.

The inaugural game took place on December 19, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
