CSTV's Fall Lineup:

NCAA Football on CSTV
CSTV's season-long high-profile live Division I-A football game-of-the-week package features the debut of Navy and Conference USA Football. Key match-ups include Maryland vs. Navy, New Mexico at UTEP, Mississippi State at Tulane and Air Force vs. Navy.

NCAA Championships
CSTV will deliver live coverage of more than 20 NCAA Championships in 2005-2006 including the Women's Hockey Frozen Four, the Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship and the Division III Men's and Women's Basketball Championships.

World Team Tailgating Championship
Before opening kickoff on a college football Saturday and the opening tip off of the national basketball tournament, the competition has already begun outside stadiums and arenas big and small throughout the country. The no-name cooks, their signature specialties and their colorful and creative presentations now have a chance to win it all in the World Team Tailgating Championship. Teams of two to three members will comprise the 64-team bracket and compete in New York for the title. In the first round, each team will have the same creative assignment, in a true game of beat the clock.

From there, it's head to head team tailgating competition featuring classic rivalries such as Ohio St. vs. Michigan, Harvard vs. Yale and Mount Union vs. John Carroll. The sweet sixteen will be desserts only and the elite eight gives those left standing the chance to do their best with eight pounds of ribs where taste, speed, creativity and presentation all matter. Each team in each round will be provided raw materials like plank wood, flowers, crepe paper, and more in order to not only create a dish, but to create the ultimate environment for their tailgate. Culinary experts, celebrity judges, and professional tailgaters will decide the fate.

History of College Football
For the past 135 years, history has been written on the gridiron across the country on Saturday afternoons. For the first time ever, CSTV takes a look at the history of college football in the most intimate sense, capturing the passion and partisanship of the game. Journalists who have covered college football throughout its history, as well as the greatest student-athletes and coaches, tell intriguing, up-to-now untold stories dating from the historic Rutgers vs. Princeton game in 1869 to today's BCS.

Training Camp
This original series chronicles the commitment, attitude and teamwork necessary to reach the pinnacle of intercollegiate athletics. New episodes, including one featuring the Navy football program, will follow in the footsteps of previous Training Camp installments highlighting Illinois men's basketball, Miami (Fla.) football, Stanford women's volleyball, Michigan State hockey and North Carolina women's soccer.

Coach
Coach explores the impact of legendary college coaches on student-athletes, and the lessons learned on the playing field that resonate long after the players have hung up their cleats or sneakers. Who better to tell these legends' stories than their star pupils? CSTV examines the unique bonds that exist between coach and student-athlete, a relationship that often lasts a lifetime. Among the legendary college coaches who have been profiled are John Wooden, Dean Smith, Eddie Robinson and Herb Brooks.

One2One
CSTV will serve up new episodes of its innovative One2One original series, which features intimate, revealing sit-down interviews with the biggest names in college sports. One2One has already sat down with legendary coaches Joe Paterno, Jim Calhoun, Pat Summitt and Mike Krzyzewski, former UConn basketball star Diana Taurasi, NCAA President Myles Brand, NBA Commissioner David Stern and U.S. Olympic wrestling hero Rulon Gardner.

Dog Days
CSTV cameras follow the top college teams in the country during one 24-hour period, from sun-up to sun-down, on the field, in the locker room, training room and dorm room, and even at the training table. The football programs at Virginia Tech, Louisville, Princeton, Georgia Southern and Mount Union have all gotten their star turn, as has the vaunted Minnesota wrestling program, and CSTV will deliver more behind-the-scenes access this fall.
