26 Sep 2025
On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) , Mike Kravchenko (Watch on YouTube) and Bryce Goodwyn (@BryceGoodwyn) return after a brief hiatus to tackle three major legal stories that unfolded while they were away.The trio kicks off with an analysis of the Jimmy Kimmel temporary suspension from ABC, the First Amendment implications, and his eventual return to the air. Dan walks through the framework around free speech in media, while Bryce draws parallels to landmark constitutional cases, emphasizing how these precedents protect expression even when controversial.Next, Mike breaks down the Sauce Gardner defamation case, where the Jets cornerback was sued by a New Jersey woman over a Twitter exchange involving OnlyFans allegations. The court ultimately dismissed the case under New Jersey's new anti-SLAP protections, awarding Gardner over $50,000 in attorney's fees. The trio debates whether the case was truly frivolous and discusses the broader implications for athlete-fan interactions on social media.Finally, Bryce provides an update on Diego Pavia's ongoing eligibility battle with the NCAA. The Vanderbilt quarterback's antitrust challenge to the five-year eligibility rule recently reached the Sixth Circuit, with arguments focusing on whether junior college years should count toward eligibility limits. Dan and Bryce express concerns about the blurring lines between college and professional sports, questioning where reasonable limits should be drawn.The episode wraps with "What to Watch For" covering professional players entering college athletics and international student-athletes' NIL rights. Plus, of course, a Dan Lust bet of the week!Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about? ANYONE and EVERYONE can publish for ConductDetrimental.com.
