NESN Casting UMaine Students for Quiz Show
Contact: Joe Carr at (207) 581-3571
ORONO — Producers from “Schooled,” a New England Sports Network (NESN) college quiz show under development, are looking for students to represent UMaine in competition against seven other New England colleges and universities.
Current UMaine first-year students, sophomores and juniors are eligible. Open casting sessions are scheduled for Wednesday March 23 and Thursday March 24, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. each day, in Memorial Union’s Spirit Room.
Billed as a “battle of brainpower,” “Schooled” is not a sports-themed contest. The actual competition will take place later in the spring.
The other participating colleges and universities are Boston College, Boston University, the University of Vermont, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, the University of Connecticut, Providence College and Northeastern University.
More information is available on the NESN website.
