NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The MTSU and WKU rivalry returns as Middle Tennessee State University and Western Kentucky University compete during the annual fall blood drive!

It's a friendly competition to see which campus can rally the most donations.

Last year was a tight competition where MTSU collected 451 units, but was nipped by 3 units as WKU collected 454. — the university's closest blood drive in history.

The drive is happening at the Campus Recreation Center gymnasium from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Wednesday!

They say anyone can come to donate!

After years of hearing 'no,' this Lipscomb player finally heard a 'yes'

A lesson in never giving up: Jack's story will have you believing dreams really can come true. It's so uplifting to hear those around him talk about his determination and then to see it rewarded. Not many teens would email coaches every week just to hear a 'no,' but Jack did. And eventually, it all pays off.
