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.
