The PRISM AWARDS (Professionalism Results and Innovation in Sport Management) are awarded annually to professional sport franchises that demonstrate industry-leading excellence and innovation in sport franchise management across five key business aspects.

Two PRISM AWARDS are presented annually – one to the major league team and one to the minor league team that best exemplify the PRISM ideals across five criteria: Strategic planning, innovative marketing, community relations, customer service and employee relations.

In 2005, The Sport Management Department expanded its annual PRISM Award program to include the College PRISM Award.
