Join us for the 2026 March Debate Madness Tournament — a single-elimination, head-to-head business ethics showdown open to all CU Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº students!
New to debate? No problem! This event is designed to be low-pressure, fast-paced, and fun!
Each round, ethical leadership topics from crypto to climate are drawn randomly, and a coin flip assigns you to argue the pro or con side. You’ll get a few minutes to research on your phone, plus you can lean on any existing knowledge. Judges want to see how you think, reason, and lead ethically in real time.
Whether you’re an undergrad trying something new or a grad student looking for a competitive edge, we’ve got a bracket for you. Winners move on each week until the champion is crowned.
Up to $6,000 in cash prizes are on the line—so bring a friend and bring your best!
