Brian Hutchings (left) Brock's Vice-President of Finance, and Sean Kennedy, Niagara College's VP of Student and External Relations, have a wager on Friday's fourth annual Peninsula Hoops Classic. <\/p><\/div>\n

On Friday night, Sept. 27, Brock will host the 2013 Niagara Classic preseason basketball showdown, as the men’s and women’s Badgers take on their cross-region counterparts, the Niagara College Knights.<\/p>\n

The games are part of the fourth annual Peninsula Hoops Classic. Proceeds go to the United Way, and $7,000 has been raised since 2010.<\/p>\n

But this year there’s a little something extra riding on it.<\/p>\n

Brian Hutchings, Brock’s VP of Finance and Administration, has a wager with Sean Kennedy, VP of Student and External Relations at Niagara College. They both stand to lose some face and cash, but for a good cause.<\/p>\n

If Niagara wins both games, Hutchings will wear a Niagara College shirt at Brock for a day, and also wear it to a Board of Trustees meeting. He will also pony up $100 to the United Way.<\/p>\n

If the Badgers win both games, Kennedy must do the same from his end.<\/p>\n

And if there’s a split in the games, neither wears a shirt – but both will make the $100 donation.<\/p>\n
