After we read that a university in Canada was offering free tuition to students who could make a half-court shot we thought why not at GW? Instead of a formal proposal to the Athletic Department we took it straight to Athletic Director Patrick Nero via Twitter.
@gwnfp thanks to your suggestion we are set for free tuition contest this Saturday.Thanks for the input.

He let us know he would look into it and within 2 weeks he has made this suggestion into reality! This Saturday at 4pm, at the Men's Basketball game, a lucky student will be chosen from the crowd to take one half-court shot. Hear the swish, and the academic year is on GW! Maybe it could be you!
