NBA Trade Deadline Competition

Sponsorship

The NBA Trade Deadline Competition is designed to help students pursue careers in the sports industry. The Trade Deadline Competition is a fully immersive experience that brings together collegiate students from a variety of programs nationwide. Admitted students have the opportunity to operate an NBA team during a simulated trade deadline environment. Following the simulated deadline, each team presents the moves it made at the deadline to a panel of judges comprised of real NBA professionals who then score each team based on knowledge of the CBA, knowledge of analytics and scouting, evaluation of the assigned team, decisions it made during the deadline, and more.

Sponsorship packages

Due to the fair market value of benefits received, only payments in excess of fair market value may be considered a charitable contribution. Please consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of charitable contributions. Visit www.asufoundation.org for additional information.
