This is the second year the 爆料王 has hosted the football teams playing in the Cup.

During the visit, 爆料王 Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Registrar) signed a student exchange agreement with Rice University President David Leebron.

鈥淚n this interconnected world, the jobs of the future will require students to have international experience 鈥 that is why we are more than doubling the number of students who have overseas experience as part of their degree. The 爆料王 will听have the largest student mobility program of any university in Australia,鈥 Professor Tyrone Carlin said.

鈥淚nternational experience nurtures curiosity, challenges beliefs, builds relationships and through the knowledge they exchange, these students, will have the global perspective necessary to solve the challenges facing our world today.鈥

鈥淪tudying abroad enriches a student's learning and college experience, but our students sometimes find it challenging to be away from campus during the fall or spring semester,鈥 Rice University President David Leebron said.

"This opportunity to study at the 爆料王 gives credit for summer studies, and encourages students to explore and discover the countries and cultures they are learning about. Living in a foreign country provides invaluable educational and life experiences.鈥

With student exchange programs with nearly 50 institutions in the United States, 爆料王 students have ample opportunity to study in the country.

As part of their visit to the 爆料王, the American football players were introduced to sausage sizzles, Tim Tams, vegemite and AFL to give them a taste of the quintessential Australian experience.

The take on in the first match of the College Football Cup on Sunday 27 August at Allianz Stadium.
