LAS VEGAS - UNLV head coach John Robinson appears in a NCAA Football national promotional commercial premiering Saturday, Sept. 2.

The 30-second commercial was produced by Host Communications out of Lexington, Ky., and will appear nationally on television networks CBS, NBC and ESPN during college games throughout the season.

The spot was filmed on location this summer in Fort Worth, Texas, at TCU's Amon Carter Stadium. The commercial co-stars NCAA Football spokesman Tim Beggy, who was a member of the original cast of MTV's "Road Rules." In the spot, Beggy is going through tryouts to be college football's ultimate fan. Robinson coaches him on things like doing the wave and playing the trumpet.

Other spots in the series set to run this season will star Roger Staubach, Tony and Anthony Dorsett and 1999 Div. III head coach of the year Frosty Westering.

NCAA Football is an alliance between the NCAA, the American Football Coaches Association and NACDA, and was formed to promote college football as a whole.
