Collegiate Pacific to Seek Dismissal of Recent Claims.

DALLAS -- Collegiate Pacific (AMEX:BOO) announced today that it believes that the claims made against it in a lawsuit recently filed by Costa Brava Partners and two other related shareholders are entirely without merit. The only claim made against Collegiate Pacific is for "aiding and abetting" alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by certain former and present officers and directors of Sport Supply Group. Collegiate Pacific intends to seek prompt dismissal of the claims made against it.

Collegiate Pacific is the nation's fastest growing manufacturer and supplier of sports equipment primarily to the institutional and team dealer markets. The company offers more than 4,500 products to 300,000 prospective and existing customers. The company distributes approximately 1.5 million catalogs annually and employs approximately 175 professional road salesmen.
