About Team Ninja Warrior
Team Ninja Warrior Season 2 begins with the five-episode special "College Madness” which is part of the second season.
More details via press release:
Already missing “American Ninja Warrior” now that Season 8 is over? Now you don’t have to! Esquire Network revealed today that the five-part special event “Team Ninja Warrior: College Madness” will premiere on Tuesday, November 22nd at 8:00pm ET/PT.
Sixteen teams, pulled from some of the most historical and deep-seeded collegiate rivalries, will run the dual course which includes even more challenging obstacles this season and a whole new strategy of racing. Both sets of teams will be comprised of three people – two men and one woman – who will battle it out on this amped-up version of the world’s most intense obstacle course. In each episode, four of the college teams will race against each other, with each individual win giving the team more points. At the end of the show, the two teams left standing will face-off in a relay race with additional obstacles – and the winner between the two will move on to the finals.
Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila of “American Ninja Warrior” will host alongside sensation Kacy Catanzaro, who will be the sideline reporter.
The following rival colleges and universities and athletes will be going head-to-head for this tournament:
· UCLA vs USC
· Florida vs. Georgia
· TCU vs. Houston
· Michigan vs The Ohio State University
· Wisconsin vs Maryland
· Stanford vs Colorado
· Oklahoma vs Texas A&M
· UCONN vs MIT
