Bronx, N.Y. – The Fordham University football program has joined forces with
Game Plan, the #1 provider of educational content, mentorship, and career services for athletes of all levels, to offer the NFL College Outreach Program to Ram football student-athletes.

Joe Conlin. "The student-athletes will benefit tremendously from the courses offered and will develop skills that they will take with them and use long after graduation."
"Due to the great collaboration with the NFL and especially Roman Oben, NFL Vice President for Football Operations, we are thrilled to be a partner with Game Plan," said Fordham interim director of athletics
