Madden Summer Challenge: An Esports First for the Big 12 Conference and its Members
Learfield IMG
The Big 12 had brought up the idea of trying to figure out something to do in the midst of this unprecedented student downtime and they came to us. We already had established a relationship with Mainline and its CEO Chris Buckner and it made a lot of sense to try and put something together with the Big 12. That was the catalyst for the Madden Summer Challenge. And here we are.

This is a great opportunity to engage in an emerging space on a Conference-wide level. This opportunity is a unique way to provide original content from within a competitive environment during these challenging times. We appreciate the collaborative efforts that have made this first-of-its-kind Big 12 Championship tournament possible.
