So I guess there has been an annual tournament the last few years made up of ex-NBA and European players. Takes place in August with the Final Four games in Baltimore. I was reading about it and there is a Scarlet & Gray team made up of OSU alums plus a BGSU and NIU alum. There team only has Aaron Craft to play PG, sounds like the perfect opportunity to get DJ Cooper on the team for a chance to win a winner take all $2 million dollar pool.

I brokered this event the one year. It's actually a pretty crazy but awesome event. Wish there was a full-bore qualifying tournament that folks could do to earn a couple at large slots.

It looks like there is a play-in for the tournament this year ahead of time.

I'm sure a lot of good players aren't that interested in putting in that much time and money into trying to win a tournament in which only the winning team gets paid, even if it would be a really nice sum.
