Boosh Magazine is the newest name in college entertainment. Their content is tight, their design is sexy, and they're hitting campuses nationwide online and thru print starting in 2008. American Cornhole is right along side them as a partner working to develop the ACO Campus Champ Cornhole nationwide over the next several years.

Using writers from all over the country, they are bringing a new voice to the college scene with some of the best talent they could find to comment on all the things they didn't cover at freshman orientation. Touching on underground entertainment, taboo sex topics, and a general sense of sarcastic wit is the norm. Their content is written, designed, and produced by college students and recent graduates so everything is always on point. Plus they're funded independently, so they don't have to answer to anyone over 40 who doesn't know how many Nattys it takes to complete a power hour; if they even know what a power hour is.

Go check them out at http://www.booshmagazine.com/ - very cool stuff.

ACO is excited to develop this partnership over the coming years.

If you're a current student, recent graduate or just getting ready to go to college and would like to learn more about bringing the Campus Champ to your school give us a call at 888.563.2002 and ask for Frank or e-mail us details on yourself and your school and let us know you are interested in starting a Campus Champ at your school and we will be sure to follow up.
