Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Commissioner Dr. Dennis E. Thomas has been featured in the National Football Foundation's (NFF) Weekly Football Matters Highlights email newsletter, which was sent out to subscribers on Friday afternoon.

The NFF featured a highlight from Dr. Thomas' interview over this past summer, shared on the Football Matters Facebook page on Monday (which was also Martin Luther King, Jr. Day), entitled "You Can't Be a Team Divided." To watch the video clip, click here.

The weekly newsletter also highlighted the upcoming Super Bowl, an interview with University of Pittsburgh's Alex Bookser, and other stories throughout the world of football -- as well as the reach the Football Matters campaign has had.

Football Matters is the NFF's cross-platform media campaign that celebrates the positive impact the game of football has made on millions of players, coaches, administrators, volunteers and fans nationwide.
