Hosted by Gabe Feldman--Director of the Tulane Sports Law Program, NFL Network Legal Analyst, and sports industry consultant, this podcast will look at current and breaking stories in the sports world and tell the largely untold (and often misunderstood) legal story behind the headlines. It will also explore significant sports stories and lawsuits that have been overlooked or forgotten. The goal of the podcast is to help people understand why and how each of these stories and cases have had such a big impact on the sports world and beyond. Who is the podcast for? Three audiences: 1) Sports fans who want to understand more about sports. There is a basic fact that gets overlooked by many sports fans: Most of the rules in sports—from salary caps to free agency restrictions to television deals to franchise relocation requirements to NCAA amateurism rules— are the way they are because of the law, and not simply because teams, leagues, or players want them that way. This podcast will help you become a better and more educated sports fan.2) People who may or may not like sports but who want to explore the idea of sports as a mirror of society. This podcast will help us see sports tell us about bigger social, financial and political issues. For example, what can return to play issues for college and pro sports tell us about how we value the health and safety of our students, the role of athletics in education, economic and civil rights, and the role of sports in society generally. 3) My mom. Because she likes to hear me talk.Enjoy...

On February 23, 2024, Judge Clifton Corker of the Eastern District of Tennessee issued a preliminary injunction that prevents the NCAA from enforcing its prohibition on the use of NIL as a recruiting inducement by collectives and third parties. It's another loss in court for the NCAA, but what does it mean for the future of college sports? To help break it all down, I'm joined by Casey Schwab, CEO and Founding Partner of Altius Sports Partners.
Prior to founding Altius Sports Partners, Casey was the vice president of business & legal affairs at the NFL Players Association, helping lead the NIL program for all NFL players. He began his career in sports media at NFL Media and FOX Sports and has taught at both USC and Howard law schools.

Episode 58: Are College Athlete Unions and Collective Bargaining the Future of College Sports?
On February 5th, 2024, the Regional Director for the National Labor Relations Board in Boston ruled that the Dartmouth men's basketball players are employees and have a right to unionize and collectively bargain over their compensation and other terms and conditions of employment. This could not only lead to the creation of the first union in the history of college sports, but could also lead to widespread unionization for college athletes across all sports, levels, and divisions. What are the next steps? What does this mean for the future of college athletics? To help break it all down, I'm joined by Mark Pearce, the former Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.
