CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Charlotte Touchdown Club has struck a four-year, $500,000 deal with ACN that makes the telecommunications company the title sponsor of the Bronko Nagurski Trophy.
The award is presented annually to college football’s top defensive player.
Tuesday’s announcement includes plans to televise the awards banquet through a syndication package starting in 2011 and ends a nearly decade-long search for a sponsor.
The deal with the Concord, N.C., based company will also allow the Charlotte Touchdown Club to fully fund its $1 million endowment by next year. That money goes to support high school and collegiate athletes and sports programs across the Carolinas.
The Bronko Nagurski Trophy will be awarded Dec. 6. Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska won last year.
