CBS Early Show to feature college Quidditch

by · March 27, 2008

The CBS Early Show will be doing a piece on the growing sport of Quidditch on college campuses across the country this Friday morning. As previously reported in USA Today, Quidditch is becoming a very popular sport among college students and now the school that began it all, Middlebury College, is going on an eight-school tour during their spring break recess.

Starting tomorrow, they will be at Amherst College in Amherst, MA and that is where the CBS Early Show will be broadcasting from.

All the merchandise seen in the piece, including broomsticks, house ties and scarves, was provided by our partner Alivan's.

UPDATE: CBS News has posted video from today's earlier broadcast, which'll show you how to play. Check it out here! Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip.
