History
The game has been played annually in Atlanta, for its first three years at Grant Field, and at the Georgia Dome since 1992.
Coverage
Versus/NBCSN broadcast the game from 2008 to 2012. Because the two participants in the 2013 and 2014 contests are both part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, to which ESPN held broadcast rights, ESPN broadcast the game on its online outlet, ESPN3.
