What an attorney who reviews NIL deals sees in the contracts, and what college athletes may be signing away.Philip Sheng is an attorney at Venable LLP, a national firm of roughly 900 lawyers, where he works in the intellectual property group and the sports law practice. His focus is college NIL, the right of publicity, and college eligibility. Venable also advised Taylor Swift through her fight to control her music and re-record her catalog. Sheng notes that was the firm's matter rather than his own, but the throughline is the same question he now works on in college sports: who owns a person's name, image, and likeness, and what they give up when they sign.This is the on-the-ground legal view of NIL. For the full breakdown of how the system works, start with The NIL Hub, NIL Rules in 2026, and NIL Pros and Cons. This episode is narrower. It is what a practicing attorney sees inside the deals themselves.Eric Kasimov talks with Sheng about NIL as both a legal and an athlete-centered issue. They get into whether NIL is really athlete compensation, intellectual property, or both, and why the issue was known as the right of publicity long before college sports made it a household term. Sheng has lived the landscape from several sides. He played tennis at Stanford, competed as an ATP-ranked professional, and now has children navigating college athletics, including Division I basketball and tennis.TopicsNIL as intellectual property and the right of publicityThe College Sports Commission and how it reviews NIL dealsThe Nebraska and PlayFly case, and why the contracts were the problemWhy even a small NIL deal needs its rights language reviewedHow brands can work with role players, not only star athletesRoster cuts in non-revenue sports like tennis and swimmingHigh school NIL, state-by-state rules, and protecting minorsSports betting, college students, and the value of staying in schoolChapters in This Episode00:00 Philip Sheng's background in law, tennis, and college sports00:36 Venable LLP, intellectual property, NIL, and sports law02:11 NIL as right of publicity03:15 Stanford, conference realignment, and athlete travel04:13 The burden on student-athletes06:29 What college sports used to be for07:00 Money, transfers, and the changing athlete experience09:20 NIL checks, taxes, and athlete education09:36 Bad agents and why guidance matters12:25 Has NIL gone too far?13:00 Congress, courts, media, fans, and pressure to change16:11 Money, rosters, and the college experience19:05 What the College Sports Commission does20:00 Fair market value, valid business purpose, and NIL deal review20:55 Nebraska, PlayFly, and unclear NIL contracts22:39 Why the Nebraska case was not just bad paperwork23:40 Why other schools are watching25:00 Lawyers, arbitration costs, and legal representation26:18 Sheng's view of the CSC and NCAA enforcement28:46 College football playoff expansion and media money31:00 What happens if schools sell marquee games differently32:43 Why championships still matter34:50 Sheng's work with non-revenue sports and NIL contracts36:08 Why brands should look beyond star athletes38:47 Are NIL contracts becoming standardized?39:45 Why athletes need contract review40:38 Rights, music, Taylor Swift, and long-term ownership42:02 College tennis, roster cuts, and non-revenue sports44:29 International athletes and college tennis47:25 Similar issues in soccer and goalkeeper recruiting48:00 High school NIL and state-by-state rules49:37 Youth sports, money, and family pressure50:29 Sports betting, college students, and addiction risk52:00 Athlete data, betting markets, and protection54:00 The cost and value of college55:00 Why athletes should not discount the college experience57:25 Athletic fees, non-athletes, and campus tension58:57 Burnout, injuries, and changing paths59:28 Where to find Philip ShengAbout Philip ShengPhilip Sheng is an attorney at Venable LLP, where he works in the firm's intellectual property group and sports law practice.

„Sport has the power to change the world.“ Von dem Optimismus dieser Worte des ehemaligen südafrikanischen Präsidenten Nelson Mandela (1918–2013) scheint inzwischen nur noch wenig übrig zu sein. Bereits bei den Fußballweltmeisterschaften der Männer 2018 in Russland und 2022 in Katar stellte sich die Frage, wie geeignet die jeweiligen Gastgeberländer angesichts der Unterdrückung queerer Menschen sowie der teils katastrophalen Arbeitsbedingungen auf den Stadionbaustellen überhaupt sind. Dies geschieht, obwohl die FIFA sich laut ihren Statuten „zur Einhaltung aller international anerkannten Menschenrechte“ bekennt und „sich für den Schutz dieser Rechte“ einsetzen will (Art. 3 FIFA-Statuten 2024, eigene Übersetzung). Mit Blick auf die anstehende Fußballweltmeisterschaft der Männer, deren Austragung mit den Vereinigten Staaten zumindest eine umstrittene Gastgebernation umfasst, stellen wir uns im Podcast die Frage: In welchem Verhältnis stehen Sport und Menschenrechte zueinander?Dafür haben wir uns mit Björn Schiffbauer unterhalten, der in seiner wissenschaftlichen Karriere die Themenschwerpunkte dieser Folge vereint hat – Völkerrecht, Menschenrechte und Sport. Im Jahr 2025 gab er auch einen Sammelband zu dieser Thematik heraus. Ergänzend beleuchtet Deborah Peters im Grundlagenteil die Rechte von Athlet*innen und stellt Fälle vor dem Internationalen Sportgerichtshof (Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS) vor.Eine automatische Transkription der Folge findest du hier auf dem Völkerrechtsblog.

In this episode,  Briant Mjia Rodelo, and Inderjit Pandher students enrolled in Jill's Sports Law class at the McGeorge School of Law, had the unique experience of interviewing Coach John Baxter about his experiences dealing with professional sports agents, the recruiting process in sports, and what it means to represent an athlete. The interview discusses how the recruiting process is carried out, how an agent can establish trust and develop lasting relationships with the players, and the things that a new agent needs to consider before signing their first athlete. This episode also provides insights on Coach Baxter's passionate views on sports agents with his over forty years of experience as a coach. Additionally, the interview explores the mentality required to become a top player in college football and the mindset that separates elite athletes from the rest. Coach Baxter also discusses the methods and approaches used at the collegiate level to help players develop the habits, discipline, and mental approach necessary to think and perform like elite athletes.  If you need Representation please email jillbaxter@me.com or text Jill at 559-250-0151 and visit my website: https://www.jillmcbridebaxter.com    

Hosted by Foley's barrister David Kim, this series brings together leading minds in the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to share their experiences and knowledge with us on all things ADR, including mediation and arbitration.  In this debut episode, Jack shares his journey to becoming a leading figure in Sports Law and sports arbitration, along with his insights into dispute resolution in the sporting world.

Somewhere right now, a kid is kicking a ball in the street while a stadium across the world is holding its breath for a final-second win. We love sports because they create instant shared meaning, but the part most fans never see is the structure that makes those moments travel, repeat, and endure. For World IP Day 2026, we're celebrating “IP and sports” with a playful challenge that lands on a serious point: intellectual property is what helps sport scale.We break down the real sports business engine behind broadcasting rights, sponsorships, merchandising, and the rising value of sports data. Then we put the ideas to the test with “Who Wants To Own The Stadium,” a quick game that connects familiar examples to the core IP tools: patents, trademarks, copyright, licensing, and industrial design. Nike Flyknit shows how a patented invention can become a platform across product lines. The Nike swoosh shows how a trademark becomes trust, culture, and belonging. Madden NFL shows how copyright and licensing can turn a league into interactive entertainment. Air Jordan 1 shows how product design can become a collectible icon and a long-term asset.By the end, we tie everything together into a practical takeaway for founders, creators, lawyers, and curious fans: sports value is built on more than performance, and good IP strategy helps innovation travel, brands grow, and creators get rewarded.

The legal profession tends to breed a type of disposition more akin to something in Homer than The Wonder Years. A rooted posture towards adversity rather than compromise or even common ground. Much of this is taught in law school, even if indirectly, with a ruthless employment competition cycle the second 1Ls start their fall semester and that infamous curve that pins students against one another and judged over the smallest of differences. My guest today is David A. Grenardo and our topic is an antidote to this madness, which is civility. We discuss not only what it is, but more importantly, how it tends to improve the quality of the legal profession and those inside. His latest paper in the Toledo Law Review is called Why Civility?, but his record on this goes back 15 years. David is a professor of law and associate director of the Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions. He joined St. Thomas Law in 2022. He was previously a professor at St. Mary's University School of Law (Texas) where he taught Professional Responsibility, Contracts, Sports Law, Business Associations, Civil Procedure, and International Sports Law.

Beau Elite is a Sports Law firm in Sacramento California guided by Bryan Pritchard, Solina Sanchez and Gary Alvarez analyze the Pavia Case.  Currently, the Diego Pavia v. NCAA case is at the forefront of Sports Law headlines as it calls into question whether an athlete's time at a Junior College should apply when transferring to the University Level. Beau Sports Law analyzes three different perspectives in the ongoing Pavia case and the repercussions they would create for Junior college football athletes. The arguments are as follows: Diego Pavia: The JUCO rule violates the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by restraining competition among athletes and schools. The JUCO rule should not apply because it is in the student's best interest to maintain the status quo for eligibility as it allows players to maintain longevity in their athletic career. Not allowing the JUCO years to apply would adversely affect low income or first-generation students to transition into the NFL, which secures benefits like NIL revenue at the professional level. More time allows student athletes to train longer and gain an advantage when transferring into the university level, securing victories for their team, school and for the possibility of a professional career later down the line.  School:  The eligibility rule restricts economic opportunity in the college athletics marketplace by limiting student athletes' ability to participate and earn NIL money. College sports are currently a real economic market because of athlete's early exposure along with Name, Image and Likeness opportunities. To not count JUCO years falls squarely within the principles of the Sherman Act which protects fair trade by regulating unfair and unreasonable business practices. As it stands currently, the JUCO rule is overly broad and does not serve a clear competitive purpose. NCAA: Eligibility limits are necessary to keep college sports fair and balanced, not to control the labor market. Eligibility caps prevent older players from dominating college rosters and creating an unfair advantage over younger athletes. JUCO seasons still provide a real competitive experience for student athletes allowing room for their physical and professional development. The Sherman Act isn't a business restriction; it is a rule that regulates how the sport functions at the collegiate level.

Richard Hale talks on all topics related to the worlds of sports and law.

Mandy and Cameron break down what it actually takes to build a career in sports law and why there is no single path in. Mandy highlights the role of persistence, networking, and starting in a non-attorney position, while Cameron shares how a traditional law firm path and a strategic in-house pivot led her to Fenway Sports Group. They also challenge common misconceptions about the field, explaining that their work focuses on commercial contracts, sponsorships, intellectual property, and business operations rather than player deals, and closely mirrors a traditional in-house legal role.   With practical insight for attorneys and law students, Mandy and Cameron discuss: Why there is no single “right” path into sports law — and how different experiences can position you to stand out How networking, persistence, and timing play a critical role in breaking into competitive industries Why strong contract drafting skills and broad legal experience are essential for in-house roles Why business judgment and a “find a way to yes” approach lead to stronger client relationships Why sports lawyers are often generalists who must navigate multiple areas of law simultaneously How building trust with internal stakeholders leads to better, more proactive legal support   They reflect on the evolving landscape of women in sports law, highlighting increased representation and leadership in recent years, as well as the collaborative nature of in-house work. Legal teams work closely with marketing, sales, HR, and operations to support broader business goals. Ultimately, Mandy and Cameron emphasize that success depends on being a well-rounded, business-savvy lawyer who can adapt, solve problems, and contribute beyond purely legal analysis.   Featured Guests Mandy Petrillo — Assistant General Counsel at Fenway Sports Group, Mandy has spent nearly two decades with the organization, supporting the Boston Red Sox and related entities across a wide range of commercial, intellectual property, and business matters. Cameron Hammel — Senior Counsel at Fenway Sports Group, Cameron brings experience from both a major law firm and in-house entertainment company, advising on commercial contracts, technology agreements, and business operations within the organization.

A baseball game is 90 feet between bases and a lifetime of stories in the box score, but the biggest action often happens off the field. We're looking at the invisible game that keeps baseball's culture and business running: intellectual property law. From broadcast rights to team branding, we connect the dots between trademarks, patents, copyright, and licensing, and we show how those tools can protect creativity without locking up the sport itself.We start with sports data and two court decisions that quietly shaped modern fandom. MLB v Motorola draws a hard line between a copyrighted broadcast and the unownable facts of the game, helping make live score apps and real time updates possible. Then CBC v MLBAM tackles fantasy baseball and the right of publicity, explaining why player names and statistics can be used as part of public sports conversation when there's no false endorsement. If you've ever checked a score on your phone or built a fantasy roster, these rulings helped set the rules of the road.From there we zoom out to the products and symbols fans carry everywhere. Trading cards reveal a stack of licensing layers, from player likeness rights to team trademarks to copyrighted photography. The Padres' Swinging Friar shows why mascots and logos are serious trademark assets, while Louisville Slugger highlights how patents reward the small design changes that can matter in performance. We also talk about baseball storytelling through film, including A League of Their Own, and how copyright and licensing can preserve cultural memory. Finally, we bring it into the sports betting era, where “official” data feeds become valuable through contracts and carefully built data systems.If you like sports law, sports business, or the way innovation spreads through culture, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves baseball, and leave a review so more listeners can find Intangibilia.Send us Fan MailCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.The views and opinions expressed (by the host and guest(s)) in this podcast are strictly their own and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the entities with which they may be affiliated.

In this episode, host Jeremy M. Evans explains how antitrust law has moved from the margins of sports law to the center of power—reshaping athlete leverage, league governance, and the business of sports. Jeremy examines how recent legal developments, including NIL reform and athlete-driven litigation, are challenging long-standing assumptions about competitive balance and economic control in both professional and collegiate sports. The episode breaks down why antitrust law has increasingly filled gaps left by fragmented labor and governance systems, and how athletes are emerging as meaningful market participants rather than passive stakeholders. Looking ahead, Jeremy discusses what these legal shifts mean for the future of league structure, media rights, and athlete organization—and why antitrust principles will continue to shape the next era of sports. This episode is essential listening for lawyers, executives, athletes, and anyone interested in the evolving intersection of sports, media, and labor law. (Season 8, Episode 5). Copyright 2026.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) return with the final episode of the year to blend the week's biggest breaking headlines with our annual review of the sports law stories that defined the year.The duo opens with the NFL's latest, breaking down DK Metcalf's sideline altercation with a fan, the league's two-game suspension, the failed appeal, and the significant contract and “conduct detrimental” implications that follow. Dan and Mike debate where the NFL draws the line on player-fan interactions, defamation possibilities, and why specific language can turn this into a multi-million-dollar issue.From there, the conversation turns to Stefon Diggs, following the breaking news surrounding felony charges filed against the Patriots wide receiver. Dan and Mike question the distinction between criminal exposure and league discipline, the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, and what could come next procedurally as the legal system—and the league—evaluate the case. Dan shares to watch out for the exempt list, as Diggs may be there soon. Dan also covers Stefon's brother, Trevon Diggs' release from the Dallas Cowboys. Next, the episode shifts to one of the most surprising legal developments in college sports this year: a former professional basketball player gaining NCAA eligibility.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) return with the final episode of the year to blend the week's biggest breaking headlines with our annual review of the sports law stories that defined the year.The duo opens with the NFL's latest, breaking down DK Metcalf's sideline altercation with a fan, the league's two-game suspension, the failed appeal, and the significant contract and “conduct detrimental” implications that follow. Dan and Mike debate where the NFL draws the line on player-fan interactions, defamation possibilities, and why specific language can turn this into a multi-million-dollar issue.From there, the conversation turns to Stefon Diggs, following the breaking news surrounding felony charges filed against the Patriots wide receiver. Dan and Mike question the distinction between criminal exposure and league discipline, the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, and what could come next procedurally as the legal system—and the league—evaluate the case. Dan shares to watch out for the exempt list, as Diggs may be there soon. Dan also covers Stefon's brother, Trevon Diggs' release from the Dallas Cowboys. Next, the episode shifts to one of the most surprising legal developments in college sports this year: a former professional basketball player gaining NCAA eligibility. Mike recaps how a drafted player with prior pro experience ended up cleared to play college basketball, while they debate what this means for amateurism, draft rights versus contract status, NCAA waiver discretion, and the long-term legal viability of eligibility rules in a post-NIL world.The back half of the episode zooms out into our annual 2025 Sports Law in Review, touching on the year's most consequential themes across the industry—including gambling enforcement and integrity investigations, NIL disputes and enforcement efforts, antitrust pressure on leagues and governing bodies, coaching and employment instability, and the steady erosion of traditional league and NCAA control mechanisms.The episode closes with reflections on where sports law is heading next, what stories are likely to spill into 2026, and why this year marked a turning point in how leagues, athletes, schools, and regulators operate in practice—not just on paper.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

This week on Bet the Process, Tulane professor and sports consultant Gabe Feldman joins to discuss the current state of college sports law, including new regulations around athlete compensation, and the legal status and regulatory challenges around sports betting and prediction markets. Rufus also continues the college football heater and gives more picks.

Rana Dershowitz went straight to Harvard Law School after graduating in 1992, partly due to the economy and her love for learning. She describes her experience at Harvard Law School, including her role as a law school "old timer" in Cambridge. After law school, Rana moved back to New York and started working on Wall Street, initially hating the big law environment but appreciating the people she worked with. Entertainment Law at Madison Square Garden and onto Sports Law Rana discusses her career counselor's advice to explore sports law, which she had overlooked despite her involvement in sports and technical theater at Harvard. She took a six-month leave of absence and was offered a job in sports law the day she started her leave. Rana worked in entertainment law at Madison Square Garden (MSG) from 2001 to 2007, handling legal work for the Knicks, Rangers, and the WNBA's New York Liberty. She met her future husband during this time and moved to Colorado  in 2007, where she continued her legal career. Joining the US Olympic Committee and Life in Colorado  Rana joined the US Olympic Committee (USOC) as Deputy General Counsel in 2007, becoming interim General Counsel and then General Counsel and Head of Government Affairs. She describes the challenges of commuting between Colorado Springs and Denver, with her husband working in Bould, while managing her job and family life. Rana and her husband moved to Basalt, Colorado, in 2011, where she continued her legal work,  joined the Aspen skiing company, and became involved in the Aspen community. She transitioned to a part-time role at Aspen Skiing Company while working as Phil Weiser's policy director for his gubernatorial campaign. Challenges and Opportunities at the US Olympic Committee  Rana explains the unique structure of the USOC, which is federally chartered and subject to congressional oversight, unlike most Olympic committees. She discusses the complexities of funding and intellectual property rights, including the USOC's unique trademark rights. Rana highlights her work on safe sport initiatives and the challenges of managing independent national governing bodies for various sports. She reflects on the legal and operational complexities of hosting Olympic Games in the United States and the international dynamics involved. Working at Madison Square Garden and New York Liberty Rana shares a story that reflects her personal connection to Madison Square Garden. She describes the structure of MSG, which owns the building, the Knicks, the Rangers, and the Liberty, and her role in handling sponsorships and league rules. Rana recounts her involvement in the New York Liberty's WNBA finals run in 1999, feeling proud to be part of the team's success. She also discusses her role in managing entertainment acts during team sports events at MSG and shares a few of her proudest moments. Policy Work and Campaign for Phil Weiser  Rana explains her role as Phil Weiser's policy director, focusing on active listening and building a grassroots campaign across Colorado. She outlines key issues the campaign is addressing, including affordability, climate change, water resources, and public lands. Rana emphasizes the importance of bridging urban-rural divides and finding innovative solutions that benefit the entire state. She highlights the campaign's efforts to address youth mental health and promote outdoor activities for children. Rana's Broader Role at Aspen Skiing Company  Rana discusses her expanded role at Aspen Skiing Company, overseeing sustainability, community engagement, planning and development, and PR. She describes her transition to leading mountain operations and her current role that spans looking into employee housing and childcare. Rana reflects on the importance of understanding systems and structures beyond legal work, drawing on her experiences at Aspen.  Harvard Reflections Rana shares her initial reluctance to follow in her family's legal footsteps but eventually being drawn to law by her interest in the "Justice" class. She credits the course for shifting her perspective and leading her to law school. She also mentions auditing the "Thinking about Thinking" class taught by Stephen Jay Gould, Robert Nozick, and Alan Dershowitz, and reflects on the importance of considering different perspectives in policy work and legal decision-making.

Following COVID-19, there has been an “e-sports winter” – however, there are murmurs, one lawyer says, of a looming spring, which could see a proliferation of legal work in this space. In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Game Legal principal Mat Jessep to discuss what it means to be an e-sports lawyer, why there has been a “winter” regarding legal work in this space and the impact of such a downturn, where the sector could be headed in the future, and the green shoots that he is seeing moving forward. Jessep also delves into why he remains bullish about this legal space, the untapped potential for investment and regulatory oversight in this space, how lawyers like himself can advocate for driving this space forward, adapting and pivoting to best serve client needs for a looming spring, and his predictions for the e-sports law space.

The race between pirates and rights holders has entered a new era where algorithms call the shots. Across six countries on three continents, courts are embracing AI as the referee of intellectual property rights in sports broadcasting, delivering a game-changing shift in enforcement speed and effectiveness.From hockey arenas in Toronto to cricket grounds in Mumbai, sophisticated AI systems now fingerprint legitimate broadcasts, instantly detect unauthorized streams, and trigger court-ordered blocks in real-time. The result? Millions of viewers watching pirated streams suddenly find their screens going dark mid-match as algorithms blow the whistle on infringement.This episode takes you inside landmark cases where technology and law converge. In Canada, broadcasters secured dynamic blocking orders that update during live games. Spain's La Liga won the right to target entire server infrastructures. French courts ordered VPN providers to block pirate access. Ireland extended Premier League protections through 2027. And India's cricket authorities gained "dynamic plus" injunctions to shut down rogue apps and mirror sites as they appear.What makes these cases revolutionary is how they've normalized algorithm-driven enforcement. Courts now trust AI detection as reliable evidence and trigger for immediate action. Internet service providers publish their blocking obligations as routine notices. The technology that once seemed futuristic has become the everyday referee of digital rights.For pirates who once stayed ahead of enforcement by constantly shifting domains and servers, the game has fundamentally changed. They now face an opponent that moves at machine speed, identifying and blocking new infrastructure faster than humans can respond. It's a buzzer-beater for intellectual property that's reshaping the global sports streaming landscape.Ready to understand how AI is revolutionizing IP enforcement?
