Less than a month after selling iPhones used by former ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, Daps Bounty is offering a number of items and experiences aimed at college basketball’s most hardcore fans and collectors.
The platform will accept bounty offers for the “Madness Collection,” which includes Rick Pitino’s all-white Armani suit and the shorts worn by Jay Williams in Duke’s victory over Arizona in the 2001 National championship game.
Pitino’s iconic suit was worn for games at Madison Square Garden against Creighton on Feb. 16 and Seton Hall on March 1.
Proceeds from an accepted bounty will benefit St. John’s NIL efforts.
Game-used, signed and inscribed, Williams wore the shorts for multiple games during the 2000-01 season. Williams was named NABC Player of the Year that season after averaging 21.6 points per game during the regular season and nearly 26 ppg. during the NCAA Tournament.
The Madness Collection will also include a Buffalo Wild Wings boombox carried by viral McNeese State student manager Amir Khan and experiences with reporters Jon Rothstein and John Fanta.
Daps Bounty will accept offers on each item or experience until April 8. The owners will then decide to accept or decline the high bounty after the offer window closes.
Additional items and experiences are expected to be added prior to the end of the tournament.
Launched in February, Daps Bounty allows fans to make offers on items or experiences that are then presented to athletes and celebrities.
The platform also features more traditional auctions, including the Wojnarowski Collection, which benefited St. Bonaventure’s men’s basketball program.
