College Basketball Crown Tournament Launches with $500K NIL Prize Pool

Date: 31-mar-2025

Alternative to March Madness Begins in Las Vegas

The inaugural College Basketball Crown (CBC) tournament starts today, March 31, in Las Vegas. This new NCAA-sanctioned postseason event features 16 men's teams that did not qualify for the NCAA March Madness bracket.

NIL Deals Bring High Stakes

Unlike traditional college basketball events, the CBC links performance to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements. Teams will compete for a share of $500,000 in brand ambassador deals from leading sponsors.

Games broadcast on: FOX and FS1
Streaming available via: foxsports.com and Hulu
Duration: March 31 – April 6, 2025

This tournament is expected to offer a compelling narrative for overlooked teams, adding drama to the college basketball postseason.
