940 - Sports Law
What is a sports lawyer? I can tell you it looks nothing like you imagine nor what you are told by Hollywood. This class will cover in a small part, the most famous type of sports law, that of the player-agent relationship, but seeks to broaden the concept of sports law to everything related to the business, law, and regulation of sport. There will be an emphasis on antitrust and labor laws and the impact it has on the business of sport. This class will lean heavily into professional sports while borrowing from NCAA litigation and NIL matters to better understand the rule of reason and the role of competitive balance in the defense to antitrust claims. Students can expect practical teachings by being presented real life scenarios encountered by real sports lawyers and being asked to apply the assigned case law to resolve issues for employers and clients. This class does not cover Title IX or IP in sports
