Dan Lust, Justin Mader, and Mike Lawson break down this jam-packed week of sports law storylines as some of the most prominent athletes, movies, and networks made significant motions. Welcome to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you informed on everything at the intersection of sports and the law. Michael Oher, Super Bowl Champion and inspiration for the critically-acclaimed movie, The Blindside, filed a legal petition against his “adoptive parents” this Monday in Tennessee (3:14). Dan (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) and Justin (@MaderLaw) dive into the specifics of the accusations and share the history of how we got here from the beginning.  “Our baseball guy” Mike Lawson (@MikesonofLaw) gives us the latest on Tampa Bay Rays' young superstar, Wander Franco’s recent allegations. (17:00). Mike tells us why Franco may have played the last game of his MLB career at just 22 years old. Dan then gives an update on the Pac-12 exodus and the four teams that still seek refuge in another conference (23:23). Dan and Justin share their thoughts on why the ACC said no to some of these schools and where they will end up.  As we discussed last week from a Barstool perspective, Penn Entertainment has dropped Barstool Sports and picked up ESPN for their next sportsbook, ESPNBet (35:33). Justin and Dan dive into what this means for the sports betting market and ESPN, as a whole.  Finally, the two wrap up the episode with a discussion of the seemingly never-ending drama from James Harden (49:30). He may be on his way out of Philadelphia already and Dan discusses the legal possibilities behind this.  *** Have a topic you want to write about?
