ARLINGTON, Texas – The Cotton Bowl Athletic Association announced today the additions of Maria Go and Iveth Enriquez Marquez to the staff as CBAA Fred McClure Interns for the 2025-26 academic year. Both officially joined the CBAA staff on Sept. 8.

In 2021, the CBAA revived and renamed its internship program in honor of Fred McClure, the first Black person to serve as CBAA Chair and the first person to serve two terms (1998-2002) in that role.

In their roles on the CBAA staff, Go serves in a diverse role working with all facets of the office and event operations, including administration, business operations, game/team operations, hospitality and various ticketing operational aspects and Enriquez Marquez assists in content creation on social media and digital platforms and various aspects of the overall communications strategy and media operations planning and execution for the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. Go and Enriquez Marquez support the day-to-day operations of the CBAA office and assist with operational aspects of the Classic, Cotton Bowl Foundation and community service events and initiatives and the regular-season college football games played at AT&T Stadium.

"We are thrilled to have Maria and Iveth become a part of our Cotton Bowl family," said CBAA President/Chief Executive Officer Rick Baker. "They are going to bring enthusiasm and innovative ideas to help make us better as a staff and help us provide the best experience possible for everyone involved with this year's Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic."

In her equipment staff role, the Madison, Wisc., native served as a Senior Equipment Manager with the defensive coaches during practice and games.
