LOS ANGELES – NBC Sports Group has announced the acquisition of the All-American Bowl, the nation’s premier high school football game, from All American Games, LLC. Effective immediately, NBC Sports will become the exclusive owner, operator and multi-platform media rights holder of the annual high school football showcase, which features the country’s Top 100 players.

As part of the acquisition, NBC Sports Group will oversee all day-to-day operations of the All-American Bowl, including the execution of the annual All-American Bowl selection tour process.
