Eddie Robinson Classic Wiki Information
The Eddie Robinson Classic
was college football "kickoff" game played in late August from 1997 through 2002 at various sites. The game was named after legendary coach Eddie Robinson. Until 2002, the NCAA only allowed for teams to play a 12 game regular season schedule if the first game were a licensed Classic (such as the Pigskin Classic, the Eddie Robinson Classic or the Kickoff Classic). In 2002, the NCAA began to allow every team to play 12 regular season games, thus effectively banning the Classics. [1] However, in 2008, the Chick-fil-A Classic was organized as a neutral-site game held in Atlanta, Ga.
