The class examines a wide range of controversies concerning the approach
that law and regulatory policy take to individuals and institutions in
the sports industry. Issues with regard to professional sports will
explore player and coaching contracts, as well as antitrust, labor, and
tax laws, and how legal doctrines impact the promotion of competitive
balance, collective bargaining, stadium financing and television rights.
Issues with regard to intercollegiate sports include the structure of
the NCAA, gender equity, amateurism and commercialization. The class
will have a closed-book final exam.
