Portnoy “Buys” Barstool, Tortious Interference with a Conference, MLB Slugfest, & Panini-Fanatics Lawsuit

Dan Lust and Zachary Bryson are joined by Nate Otto to bring you the latest in the sports law world. Welcome to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you informed on everything at the intersection of sports and the law. There have been quite a few updates in the world of sports law as Dan (⁠⁠@SportsLawLust) and Zach (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ZacharySBryson) are joined by Nate Otto to help break it all down. Dave Portnoy announced Wednesday that he has "bought back" Barstool Sports from Penn Entertainment (3:24). The trio dive into the intricacies of the transaction, and the eyebrow raising stipulations that Portnoy has allegedly agreed to as part of the transaction. The "Big 5" conferences are no more, as news spreads about the gutting of the Pac-12 conference that took place over a short two-day span, which saw the Big 12 N Big 10 conferences absorb most of the teams that were formerly members of the Pac-12 Conference (12:31). Dan, Zach, and Nate share their thoughts about what this means for college sports as a whole, and what the landscape of college athletics may look like in the future. Panini American has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Fanatics over Fanatics Collectibles acquisition of the licenses to several North American sports leagues rights with relation to trading cards (21:48). Nate, who recently authored an article available on Conduct Detrimental's website dives deep into Panini's claims, Fanatics countersuit, and the potential implications as this litigation process begins. Finally, the trio wraps up the episode with a discussion of the "Base-Brawl" between Jose Ramirez and Tim Anderson, which ended in Anderson knocked down, and both players suspended for multiple games (34:51). *** Have a topic you want to write about?
