Part 1: Name, Image, and Likeness Agreements in College Athletics and the Future of the NCAA
The shift to allow Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) Agreements for student-athlete compensation was a monumental change in the history of college athletics. In this seminar, we’ll explore the evolution and impact of NIL agreements, including the history of NIL in college sports, the current legal landscape, the benefits and challenges of these agreements, and what the future may hold.

Part 2: Let the Games Begin: A Legal Review of the Olympics
The world turns to Paris this year to celebrate friendship, respect, and athletic excellence at the Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Behind the scenes, there is an intricate, complex matrix of legal work making it all happen. In this seminar, we’ll dive into some of those legalities, including naming rights, ambush marketing, trademarks, and more.
