ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION ON WEEKLY HBCU TOP 10 FOOTBALL POLL


NEW YORK -- Two major African-American sports entities, DWCommunications, LLC and The Black Athlete Sports Network (BASN) have formally announced a joint partnership between the two parties. This past Tuesday, September 11th, the two organizations debuted the " BoxToRow.com/BASN HBCU Top 10 Football Poll." This inaugural poll is the first of what both organizations feel could be a long sustaining partnership within the African-American sports community. The voters on the weekly poll are comprised of some of America's best writers who cover black college football.

"We are thrilled to partner with such a well respected entity as BASN to create this new poll," said Donal Ware, founder and CEO of DWCommunications, LLC, parent company of boxtorow.com. "Black college football is an industry and with that we feel we have created a poll that in time will be one of the most respected college football polls in the nation which will further help to promote the industry. We have recruited some of America's best writers who cover Black college football as pollsters. With this poll we feel we have just begun to scratch the surface in furthering the promotion of HBCU sports."

The poll is scheduled to be released every Monday on www.boxtorow.com with an accompanying story on www.blackathlete.com on Tuesdays. "Over the past few years, we have looked to improve and expand our overall coverage of black college sports," said Tony McClean, BASN's Editor In Chief.
