LAW 7212 :
Legal & Comp Iss in Amat Athl

The amateur athletics industry has undergone dramatic changes over the past few decades. Many of the same competitive, legal, regulatory and business dynamics that have historically applied to professional sports are now part and parcel of the world of amateur athletics. At the same time, there are dimensions that are clearly unique and distinctive to the various amateur models (interscholastic, intercollegiate, Olympic/international sports). Students will develop a deep understanding of the various legal, regulatory, compliance, and business issues facing amateur athletics, and propose well-articulated solutions and reforms to those problems. In particular, students will be asked to analyze the current state of intercollegiate athletics in the United States, evaluate the numerous shifts that are taking place in that landscape, and craft recommendations regarding the future operating model of college sports.
