Strong recommend for those in Philly. Ken and Jeremi are both excellent speakers. We were fortunate to have Jeremi speak at @Baruch_Zicklin last spring and both Ken and Jeremi speak at @FordhamLaw this past fall.

For those who were hoping the end is near, keep in mind that no matter what Judge Wilken decides, an appeal to the 9th Cir by someone — and perhaps a lot of someones — seems inevitable.

A California judge has not ruled on the settlement, but those familiar with the case expect a decision within a week. Attorneys filed what is expected to be their last brief last Monday, where they decided against following the judge’s suggestion to change roster limits.

Buried in the bottom of this article, but it would be a darn shame if we cut back on ⁦the @FulbrightPrgrm⁩. Being a US Fulbright in Australia was one of the most — if not the most — meaningful experiences in my career. I grew as a person and scholar https://t.co/ixsalHBweo

RT @SportsLawProf: In new brief, New Jersey's core argument pertains to preemption. Excerpt below: https://t.co/1SZtvzzX0I

Very simple facts for people who blame college athlete pay for commercializing #ncaa sports: Murray Sperber published “Beer and Circus” (a book on commercialized college sports) in the year 2000. The Sup Ct’s Alston decision, state #NIL reform statutes etc. all were in 2021.

There’s a lawyer at the #NCAA or Skadden or both who green-lighted an unwinnable appeal to the US Supreme Court of an #antitrust ruling that said colleges couldn’t collude to limit in-kind educational benefits to athletes. Understatement of the day: that proved to be a bad choice

To the next #NCAA official who argues against the commercial model of revenue-generating college sports, I would ask this exact question: “Leaving aside the issue of athlete pay, what specifically have you and your employer been doing to de-commercialize college sports?”

Agreed. And, without a bona fide players union, it is difficult for athletes of diverse life experiences to always get independent and ethical guidance. It’s one of the many reasons I am bullish on true unionization in the commercialized college sports.

The Nico Iamaleava saga shows why family representation in #NIL is dangerous. Amateur negotiating leads to amateur results. Plus: basketball NIL numbers are exploding, new House v. NCAA filings, new NCAA lawsuits, and more. Full analysis in my newsletter: https://t.co/YtspaRAcV9

I had the absolute privilege last night of attending the book launch party for my friend ⁦@DionneKoller⁩. Dionne is an absolute superstar professor at ⁦Baltimore Law School and her book, “More than Play,” will change the way people look at youth sports in America. https://t.co/dmcjWPrP5t

I just read a few articles discussing the latest Google antitrust decision. Lost in these articles is the reality that divestitures are rare, even presuming illegal monopolization. There were no divestitures in Alcoa. No divestitures in Microsoft. Just conduct remedies.
