March 04, 2020 [Cleveland, OH] — The Professional Collegiate League (PCL) is coming to Atlanta on April 5th to discuss a better, professional opportunity for collegiate athletes around the Final Four and Championship games. As college basketball players, coaches and fans gear up for the national championship game, the PCL will be co-presenting a panel discussion with the Global Sport Institute at Arizona State University and Soledad O’Brien Productions. Industry leaders from across the nation will gather in Atlanta to discuss the future of collegiate athletics and the PCL’s critical role in defining that future. The PCL will also be unveiling the league’s Atlanta-based team name and insignia at the event.

In short, the PCL is college sports reimagined.

WHEN: Sunday, April 5th, 2020; 5:00 p.m.
WHERE: Loudermilk Conference Center, 40 Courtland Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30303
WHY: As the discussion of compensating college athletes continues to progress, Atlanta offers the perfect venue to host a discussion on the future of college sports.
