crowd of 6,130 served as the camp highlight.

training camp included ESPN, FOX Sports, the NFL Network, USA Today
(which
featured Rose-Hulman's academic reputation in an article), The New
York Times, the Philadelphia Enquirer, Sports Illustrated,and The Sporting News.

announced the first two
Colts Minority Science and Engineering Scholarship recipients,
who will each receive a four-year, full-tuition scholarship to
Rose-Hulman, on July 30.

1999, a span that has seen the club amass a 63-33 regular-season
record. That record stands as the third-best in the National
Football League and the best in the American Football Conference
over the past six regular seasons.
