Jazz owner Ryan Smith told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that the team will offer a four-year college scholarship to an "underrepresented or minority" student for every Utah win this year.
The new owner appeared on The Woj Pod to share that the new governing group is using their platform to "drive proper changes that, frankly, should have been done a long time ago."
This program appears to be the first of its kind by an NBA team awarding scholarships based on their nightly performance.
“It’s not only to give folks money who wouldn’t have had a chance,” Smith said.
