Established in 1984, the NCAA Corporate Champion and Corporate Partner Program brings together leading brands to support NCAA championships and enhance the student-athlete experience.

Through year-round engagement, these organizations help connect fans with college sports while supporting programs, scholarships and championship experiences.

The program includes two tiers—Corporate Champions and Corporate Partners—and brings together leading organizations that invest in intercollegiate athletics through funding, expertise and year-round support. These partners play a direct role in enhancing student-athlete experiences by supporting youth programs, scholarships, awards and fan engagement initiatives.

TNT Sports and CBS Sports hold exclusive rights to license NCAA marks, tickets and taglines for commercial promotions tied to NCAA championships, including certain media rights for the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, and lead negotiations for all corporate partnership agreements.
