“I’m ecstatic to bring ‘Eagle Talk’ to our restaurant,” said Prince Logan, general manager of Champps Americana. “NCCU is an up-and-coming athletics program and now that they are officially Division I there is no better way for us to partner with them than to bring this show to our place, along with their loyal and passionate fans.”
