On-set mascot activities, television spots, and web-site activation

                           highlight arrangement



    ATLANTA, Aug. 11 /EMWNews/ -- Chick-fil-A is further increasing its

association with college football in 2008 by becoming the newest integrated

sponsor of ESPN's top-rated College GameDay Built by the Home Depot.



    



    The key component of its involvement with the show is entitled "Mascot

Movers" and will focus on the climactic moment at the conclusion of each

College GameDay telecast when analyst Lee Corso predicts the winning team

by donning the mascot head of his favored university. ESPN event staff in

special College GameDay and Chick-fil-A co-branded uniforms will escort the

crate carrying the mascot head to the set prior to Corso's announcement.



    The agreement includes Chick-fil-A television commercials in each show

plus a live camera shot of a Chick-fil-A "fan interaction area" on each

campus at the College GameDay set just before the predictions are made by

host Chris Fowler and analysts Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard.



    College football fans will also have the opportunity to log on to

ESPN.com (search: Chick-fil-A) and access a custom "Mascot Movers" website

where they can make their weekly predictions on what Mascot is in the box

and enter their picks on key College GameDay match-ups to be played during

the weekend. Each week, ESPN and Chick-fil-A will award one lucky winner a

VIP trip to the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl on December 31st in Atlanta and free

Chick-fil-A food for a year.



    College GameDay's inaugural show for 2008 will be televised from

Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta on Saturday, August 30 for the

Chick-fil-A College Kickoff Game between Alabama and Clemson.



    As Chick-fil-A continues to strengthen its brand presence nationally,

the restaurant chain anticipates the association with College GameDay will

be a strong complement to the chain's college-level sponsorship portfolio.



    "This new relationship with ESPN provides us with an on-going presence

throughout the entire college football season," said Steve Robinson, senior

vice president of marketing for Chick-fil-A. "We will begin the season with

the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff featuring a tremendous match-up, and we

will finish with the Chick-fil-A Bowl, on ESPN. We anticipate unique

opportunities throughout the season to interact and share Chick-fil-A with

college football fans throughout the country as College GameDay shows up at

some of the biggest and most exciting games to be played this year."
