MEAC champion Spartans show off their ring bling

NORFOLK, Virginia - Pete Adrian didn't want Norfolk State's MEAC championship ring to be too gaudy. So he only ordered extra-extra-extra large.

"I wanted it to be smooth," said Adrian, who helped pick the model. "I didn't want it to be real flashy-flashy where it gets your attention."

The NSU football team received the rings Friday, the first ever for the school. Items that rare, it seems, don't follow the same sizing conventions as things like pants.

"Most of the big sports, they typically use something in this range," said Maureen Cooper, the sales representative for Jostens.

Norfolk State would not reveal how much each ring cost, and the NCAA regulates the amount of money that can be spent on each ring.
