The NFLPA will reprise its long-running Super Bowl week Pitch Day business plan competition next Wednesday at the Intercontinental New Orleans, with three startups competing for Super Bowl tickets, access to NFLPA events and consultations from business advisers.
At that event, there will also be panel discussions featuring NFLPA Executive Director Lloyd Howell, NFL Players Inc. President Matt Curtin, Blue Owl GP Strategic Capital cofounder Michael Rees, Patricof & Co. founder Mark Patricof and former NFLers Tony Boselli, Dhani Jones, Steve Smith Sr. and Sheldon Day. Later that day, OneTeam Partners and Amazon-owned Twitch will present the Twitch Rivals Streamer Bowl, and on Feb. 7, EA Sports and the NFLPA will host the Madden Bowl, which carries a $1 million purse.
