College Sports Law in a Nutshell

This College Sports Law Nutshell provides an up-to-date discussion of the shifting landscape of college sports law forged by the series of recent lawsuits. The book covers the relationship of the student-athlete to the university; the historical enforcement of NCAA rules; the evolution of the NCAA's amateurism model; the adoption of state name, image, and likeness laws and the contours of the ability of athletes to monetize their NILs through collectives; the increasingly important transfer portal; the tripartite change agents in the current model of college sports—antitrust law, employment law, and conference realignment; the role of coaches; Title IX and gender equity; and college sports gambling. Integrating law, NCAA rules, university policies, and the responses of various actors to this evolving climate, the book provides an accessible overview to lawyers and non-lawyers alike. It provides a helpful window into a complicated landscape, ideal for law students, practitioners, administrators, athletes, boosters, and anyone interested in college sports.
