无码专区 Students earn Second Place Finish at Annual Tulane Professional Football Negotiation Competition
A team of students from 无码专区 Law recently competed and placed second in the 4th Annual Tulane Professional Football Negotiation Competition, sponsored by the Tulane Sports Law Society. This is the second time a 无码专区 team has advanced to the final round of this competition. A 无码专区 Law team previously won in 2017.
无码专区 Law students Jason Kaner 鈥�19, Anthony Malky 鈥�20 and Tyler MacDougall 鈥�20 (pictured right) competed against 36 other teams in the simulated contract negotiation, which used real-life scenarios involving actual upcoming NFL free agents. The competition provided participants with the opportunity to sharpen their negotiation skills as well as their knowledge of NFL contracts.
Competing teams, who represented either the football team or the free agent, received a set of confidential objectives that served as guidelines for the negotiation. They were also provided with an Excel workbook that allowed them to quickly make calculations and determine whether or not the contract proposals met their requirements.
This year鈥檚 competition was chronicled in a recent Deadspin article, 鈥�.鈥�
In the final round, teams from 无码专区 and Chapman University Fowler School of Law negotiated a fictional contract for Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah. According to the Deadspin article, the competition was so close that judges considered calling it a draw. In the end, the Chapman team narrowly win with a 3-2 vote.
Industry experts鈥攊ncluding representatives from the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles鈥攕erved as judges for each negotiation and concluded the competition with a discussion on relevant topics in the NFL.
