Citrus Bowl to keep MEAC-SWAC Challenge through 2013

The MEAC/SWAC Challenge will remain in Orlando through 2013.

ESPN and Walt Disney World officials made the announcement of the extension Sunday morning prior to the Delaware State-Southern game at the Florida Citrus Bowl.

"The ongoing support of Walt Disney World will contribute to the continued growth and success of this event and ESPN's commitment to HBCU football," said Nikki Godfrey, the game's executive director.

Southern University scored 21 points in the fourth quarter en route to a 37-27 win over Delaware State before 16,367 sun baked fans at the Florida Citrus Bowl in the 2010 MEAC/SWAC Challenge.
