GRAND ISLAND, Neb.--(Business Wire)--
College Fanz Sports Network, the world`s largest online college sports community
launched by ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen, today announced that the College Fanz
NAIA Football Game of the Week broadcast and production team will travel across
America in the innovative, new College Fanz Van, The Prestige Traveler
manufactured by American Custom Vehicles of Elkhart, Indiana. 

The unique and colorful College Fanz Van will visit over 40 college campuses
around the country this fall. Fans in attendance can join the broadcast team for
special pre-game and post-game broadcasts live alongside The Prestige Traveler
and the Mobile Broadcast Unit, a 16-foot Wells Cargo trailer customized by
American Custom Vehicles. 

"We are pleased to partner with American Custom Vehicles and the good people in
Elkhart who have shown tremendous support and affinity for the inaugural season
of the College Fanz NAIA Football Game of the Week," said Rasmussen. 

The Prestige Traveler is a new concept in traveling and overnight luxury. With
the looks and automotive appeal of a limousine and the comfort and amenities of
today`s custom motor homes, The Prestige Traveler is quickly creating a
crossover class of its own in automotive and recreational travel. Built on the
award-winning Daimler Chrysler Sprinter chassis, The Prestige Traveler power
train is the V-6 Mercedes Benz 3.0-liter common-rail direct injection (CRD)
turbo diesel engine. It provides powerful, smooth, quiet performance with the
benefit of exceptional fuel economy-up to 24 MPG on the highway. 

Terry Minix, President of American Custom Vehicles, designer and engineer of The
PrestigeTraveler, explained his company`s vision to look beyond the
conventionally built limousines and motor homes of today to create a new
generation of vehicle. 

"From the ultra lightweight composite materials we use to make the coach lighter
than when it arrived at our facility, to luxury appointments and upholstery
found only in European and marine designs, we`ve departed from the conventional
recreational vehicle with the design of The Prestige Traveler," said Minix. "We
are proud and pleased to be chosen as the official College Fanz Van of the
College Fanz NAIA Football Game of the Week. The Prestige Traveler is compact,
provides the ultimate in comfort, and is a proven tailgating machine and is
perfect for the College Fanz Van."
