The Brandon University Bobcats have such a contest. Brandon is located in Manitoba Canada just in case you were wondering. Their head coach is a gentleman by the name of Gil Cheung. Coach Cheung was asked by student Mason Kaluzniak to attempt at half court basketball shot in a promotion to win free tuition. The coach proved to be a very wise selection for this endeavor.
