“It’s a neat opportunity for the students,” he said. “It’s great to see a student like Kavelle that works hard and gives so freely of himself have great things happen to him.”

According to Boyce, both Phoenix and Houston are also placing bids on the 2012 Super Bowl, but she believes that having Indiana students deliver the bid will be something unique. “It shows that this goes beyond just Indianapolis,” she said. “It’s an effort that encompasses the support of all of Central Indiana.”

Sinclair agreed. “The NFL mandates that all bids must be delivered on May 9,” she said. “The other cities are likely to simply use courier services, and I think Indianapolis has taken a more personal approach. I would be impressed if I was a team owner.”
