FOX Televises Never Forget Tribute Classic: VCU vs. No. 19 Seton Hall Saturday

Second Annual Event Supports Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund

The FOX broadcast network televises the first matchup of the second annual Never Forget Tribute Classic on Saturday, Dec. 9, as VCU faces No. 19 Seton Hall. Pregame coverage begins at 2:30 PM ET before Brian Custer, Donny Marshall and Holly Sonders have the call live from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., at 3:00 PM ET. Viewers will also hear from mic’d up Pirates head coach Kevin Willard throughout the game.

Game coverage opens with a look at the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund, which provides education assistance for post-secondary study to financially needy dependents of those killed or permanently disabled in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
