Kauffman Sports and NextLevel Sports combine to create a full service sports management firm that focuses solely on the representation of professional and collegiate sports professionals. NextLevel|KSMG represents several of the most respected and successful coaches, administrators, general managers, and broadcasters in the country.

The new venture announced in 2008 between Kauffman Sports Management Group and NextLevel Sports, brought together one of the most respected and one of the emerging firms in the field of sports representation. The new venture will be served by two divisions, NextLevel (college division) and KSMG (professional division).
