BILLINGS-Tonight, attendees will enjoy the classic rivalry between the University of Montana Grizzlies and the Montana State University Bobcats at the kickoff performance of the 2014 NILE PRCA Rodeo. The action starts at 7:00 pm, Thursday, October 16.

In this performance's unique format, the rodeo teams from each school will draft Pro Rodeo contestants to compete for their respective schools and earn points for them throughout the night. 

Up for grabs will be prize money offered by the NILE garnered from $1 of every paid ticket.  After the dust settles the winning school will receive 60% of the prize money while the other school will receive 40%.  The money will be awarded to each college in the form of Scholarships to be given to collegiate rodeo athletes.
