PLANO, Texas, Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Just like
millions of college students, Pizza Hut is preparing to head back
to campus in a few weeks after announcing it will be returning for
a fourth season as the Official Pizza Sponsor of ESPN College
GameDay built by the Home Depot.
Each week, Pizza Hut will be onsite with its "House of Pi"
homegating setup, featuring a lounge to enjoy the full GameDay
experience, pizza sampling and plenty of swag for the early risers
staking out premium spots to view the show.
"ESPN College GameDay is a staple of Saturday mornings
during college football season, and we're looking forward to
getting back in the game with college football's most passionate
fans," said Zipporah Allen, Chief
Marketing Officer, Pizza Hut, U.S. "Partnering with GameDay
gives us the platform to bring fandom and food together, all while
elevating the game-watching experience for fans at home."
Pizza Hut is also continuing its work with Maria Taylor, who joined the award-winning
College GameDay crew last year. During the 2018
season, Taylor will team up with Pizza Hut to create custom content
and interview the schools' biggest fans on air each
week.
"What better way is there to celebrate the return of college
football than with pizza?!" added Taylor. "Pizza Hut has been an
important member of the GameDay team the past few seasons.
In this exciting new chapter, we'll identify each school's most
passionate fans who go the extra yard to deliver the home field
advantage at every game – bringing Pizza Hut pizza along the way,
of course."
Pizza Hut became the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL earlier
this year and recently announced its extension as the Official
Pizza of the NCAA through the 2020-21 season. This makes Pizza Hut
the only brand to have national partnerships with both the NCAA and
NFL, feeding the passion and excitement of sports fans at every
level.
