Kyle Schwarber to Guest on College GameDay in Bloomington

Kyle Schwarber, a former Indiana University baseball star and current Philadelphia Phillies slugger, will serve as the celebrity guest picker on ESPN's College GameDay this weekend. The show will broadcast live from Bloomington, marking only the second time it has aired from Indiana University, ahead of the Hoosiers' game against the Washington Huskies. Indiana's football team is experiencing a standout season with a 7-0 record, ranked 13th nationally, and is looking to extend their winning streak against Washington. Schwarber, who played at Indiana from 2012-2014 and helped lead the baseball team to its first College World Series, expressed excitement about returning to his alma mater. The game is expected to bring significant economic benefits to Bloomington due to increased visitor spending. Schwarber’s return is a notable event for both Indiana fans and the broader College GameDay audience, which will also feature former IU football coach Lee Corso as co-host.
