FOX Sports Indiana Will Televise 125th Monon Bell Classic
This November's meeting between DePauw University and Wabash College will mark the 125th game in the historic game known as the Monon Bell Classic, and for a second consecutive year one of America's oldest and most storied college rivalries will be televised by
FOX Sports Indiana and streamed nationally on the
FOX Sports app. The 125th game in the series, which began in 1890, will take place Saturday, November 10, in Crawfordsville, with kickoff slated for 1:07 p.m. (Eastern time).
The 125th Monon Bell Classic will be televised on
FOX Sports Indiana and
FOX Sports Midwest Plus. It will be streamed nationally to all users of the
FOX Sports app,
FOX Sports GO app, and at
FOXSportsGO.com (stream here:

FOX College Sports Central.
"The partnership that our two schools began with
FOX Sports last year resulted in a telecast that received rave reviews from alumni, parents, and others, and received an Emmy nomination," said Ken Owen, of DePauw. "We're thrilled to continue our relationship."
"Fans who attend the game at Wabash will enjoy a number of special features designed to celebrate the 125th game and the amazing history our two colleges share, but for those who can't attend on game day this is an exceptional platform with wide reach," said Jim Amidon of Wabash College.
