Please join us for the 8th Annual Tulane Pro Basketball Negotiation Competition (TPBNC), which will take place February 20 & 21st, 2025.
About the Competition
The Tulane Professional Basketball Negotiation Competition, run by members of the Tulane Sports Law Society, is a simulated contract negotiation using real-life scenarios and upcoming NBA free agents. The competition will provide participants with the opportunity to sharpen their negotiation skills as well as their knowledge of NBA contracts. To simulate an actual contract negotiation, the participants will receive a set of confidential objectives that serve as guidelines for the negotiation. Participants will either represent an NBA team or a free agent while experts in the basketball industry serve as judges for each negotiation. The competition is held annually in the spring academic semester.
