About This Course

This CLE provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly evolving legal landscape in sports, beginning with a short introduction and then focusing on the growing professionalization of college athletics, where reduced structural certainty has led to increased litigation. The program will examine the House settlement and the environment it has created, as well as recent litigation addressing eligibility rules not covered by the settlement. It will also explore the influence of White House Executive Orders on college sports policy and consider whether new federal legislation may emerge from Congress to address ongoing disputes and governance challenges. The course then turns to professional sports developments, including the scope of league commissioner powers and arbitration issues in the wake of the Flores case, as well as updates on new collective bargaining agreements in the WNBA and NWSL, and potential labor tensions in MLB. The program concludes with a discussion of sports gambling, including the tension between state regulation and prediction markets, inconsistent judicial rulings that may require Supreme Court resolution, and the potential role of CFTC regulation, followed by a review of additional miscellaneous developments in the sports law landscape.
