A-Rod/Lore Win Timberwolves Arbitration, College Sports CEO, & House Update
On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, the NIL hour is BACK again as we are led and joined by Tarun Sharma (@tksharmalaw) and Mike Lawson (@Mikesonoflaw) for a trip around the college sports law world with a bit of discussion about the Timberwolves arbitration.Is the NBA witnessing a shift in team ownership? An arbitration panel has ruled in favor of Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore, allowing them to proceed with their acquisition of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx. This decision concludes a legal dispute with the current owner Glen Taylor, who had attempted to halt the sale by alleging missed payment deadlines. The duo dives into the realm of college athletics with a significant movement underway... over 250 current and former athletes have opted out of the proposed House v. NCAA settlement. These athletes are voicing concerns over issues such as gender equity, antitrust implications, and roster limitations. The NIL hour duo also discusses the potential appointment of a College Sports CEO—a role envisioned to navigate the complex terrain of modern collegiate athletics. In this episode, we delve into the implications of these developments, analyzing how the arbitration ruling could set new precedents in ownership, the potential ripple effects of athletes' mass exodus from the NCAA settlement, and the envisioned role of a College Sports CEO in steering the future of collegiate athletics.What are your thoughts?***Have a topic you want to write about?
