The Inner-City Classic is essentially composed of four major components to benefit each participating institution: Educational, Mentorship, Experience, and Exposure. *Educational – Each institution is presented with an honorarium to be used for athletics or for student scholarships. *Mentorship – The students while participating will have access to local business entrepreneurs and executives to be able to learn from their experiences *Experience – The invaluable experience of participating in such a unique game classic and in a non-traditional seasonal game match-up. *Exposure – The game will give the students exposure to the true elements of a “Bowl” game atmosphere.
