UNIVERSITY MADNESS

THE DRAFT ENDS
FOR SOME.
NOT HERE.

University Madness is a new professional 3-on-3 league for the deepest pool of talent in basketball: the players the draft passes by. Built for the NIL era, timed for the weeks before the June draft.

3,000+
D1 players with no competitive platform
364
college programs with a fan base and no team to watch
8
regional teams in the beta season
APR–JUN
the window before the NBA draft
The Gap

Every spring, thousands of the sport's most watched players run out of season.

College eligibility ends. The draft is weeks away and most of the field already knows they won't hear their name called. Between March and June, there's no league, no stage, and no reason for their fans to keep paying attention.

~4,500
D1 players age out of college basketball every year
~60
NBA draft picks come out of that entire pool
28
U.S. states have no NBA team for a fan base to fall back on
The Format

A league built for the players the calendar forgets.

Regional rosters, full-court 3-on-3, and a schedule timed to the one window in basketball nobody else is using.

Pre-Draft Timing

Played before the June draft

Rosters include seniors and graduates the scouting community already knows won't be drafted, alongside players who went undrafted the year before. The season runs and ends before the draft itself.

Regional Rosters

Built on college loyalty

Each team draws from a cluster of D1 programs, so fans of a dozen schools have someone to follow all season, not just through March.

3-on-3, Full Court

Faster, and built for a phone screen

Higher scoring, quicker games, and every player visible on every possession — the format that's already proven itself with FIBA and Unrivaled.

NIL-Integrated

The league profits when players do

Brand deals are brokered through the league itself, so a player's growing audience and the league's business grow together, not apart.
