LOs Angeles—Always on the lookout for popular sports, ESPN this week begins promoting a version of an age-old college game that requires players to bounce quarters into a shot glass and drink until they fall down.

A slightly cleaned-up version of “Quarters,” sponsored by Bud Light, will have players in bars around the country bounce quarter-sized tokens off a miniature table-top basketball court complete with shot-glass-sized nets. Instead of downing shots after each basket, they will compete for prizes, including a trip to Atlanta for the finals of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament this spring.
