[Chris]

With a continued pursuit of recruiting college athletes into their developmental ranks, WWE announced their first-ever "Campus Rush" tour that begins on Wednesday.

Big E, Bianca Belair, Omos, Madcap Moss, and Raquel Rodriguez will all be part of the three month, eight-stop tour in order to "address student athletes at each tour stop and educate them about the global leader in sports entertainment."

The goal of the events will be to inform student athletes about the company's NIL program and what it can offer them. Each stop will also feature "student athletes facing off on the microphone to cut the best WWE-style promo."

This is WWE's first-such awareness tour for their NIL program that launched in December 2021. As noted in their release, they also hosted more than 100 athletes for tryouts this year with more than 50 being signed. 25 athletes are currently under an NIL partnership agreement.

Here's the current schedule with dates for the University of Florida, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, University of North Carolina, Texas A&M University, University of Oklahoma, Auburn University, University of Illinois, and Northwestern University set for 2023.

• University of Mississippi: Wednesday, October 12th
• Georgia Tech University: Thursday, October 13th
• Clemson University: Tuesday, October 25th
• Boise State University: Tuesday, November 8th
• University of Arkansas: Wednesday, November 9th
• Ohio State University: Tuesday, November 15th
• University of Kansas: Tuesday, December 6th
• Penn State University: Wednesday, December 7th
