The Computer Group (http://www.thinktcg.com) and Collegiate Images (http://www.collegiateimages.com) today announced they have reached an agreement for The Computer Group to license Collegiate Images extensive college sports library of full game broadcasts.

The licensing and distribution agreement will enable The Computer Group to sell regional and national college sports programming on DVD.
