Through joint efforts with NJCAAE, the governing body of esports exclusively for two-year colleges, the NJCAA has announced an online NBA 2K Tournament available for all junior college students. As students look to fill the void left by the cancellation of spring sports, NJCAAE is proud to provide this engagement opportunity with the hopes of additional events to come.
As coaches and staff at NJCAA member colleges, NJCAAE requests you to please distribute this information to any and all interested students at your institution.
