KALAMAZOO, Mich.—When the Western Michigan University football team faces Middle Tennessee State next week at the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, fans around the world will have a new way to cheer on the team from afar.
WMU is one of only 33 institutions nationwide to pilot the team frame, a new Facebook feature. Facebook’s team frames offer college sports fans the option to temporarily change their profile pictures to show support for their favorite sports team.
Facebook team frames are still in the beta stage and have largely been reserved for bigger institutions and team fan bases.
