THE DEANS' CUP

The 'Deans' Cup' is an annual charity basketball game between the law schools of Columbia University (CLS) and New York University (NYU). First held in 2002, the game raises money for public interest and community service organizations at both universities and is sponsored by many large New York City law firms. A game between faculty members of the two schools is held at halftime.
The 2007 edition raised over $100,000 as the Cup was brought back downtown by NYU in a 68-65 thriller that saw several lead changes in the final two minutes. A late powerful dunk by Eric Geffner and streaky three point shooting by Justin Waldie helped the Lions to claw within reach of victory but the steady shooting of Ryan Eney and JP Kernisan proved too much for Columbia to handle. Fortunately, CLS didn't leave the Village empty-handed, as the Lions won the halftime faculty challenge 7-6. The game was attended by well over 2,500 students, faculty, alumni, and lawyers from donor firms.
The 2008 edition of the Deans' Cup will be held next April at Columbia's Levien Gymnasium. With NYU recently passing Columbia in the US News & World Report law school rankings, the passionate rivalry is unlikely to cool down.
