About the NBNC
The Fordham National Basketball Negotiation Competition (“NBNC”) emulates NBA negotiations in which law students, acting as lawyers, manage a series of legal problems simulating to real-life scenarios. The negotiation situation varies with each round and level of the competition. Competitors must be prepared to negotiate a wide range of contracts including player trades, free agent contracts, and player brand deals. The Fordham Sports Law Forum is excited to host its 14th Annual National Basketball Negotiation Competition in January 2027.
