07 Aug 2024
On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) is joined by Mike Lawson (@Mikesonoflaw) after a short hiatus! We break down the Michigan investigation results by the NCAA, which the punishments came out today. (5:50) Connor Stalions, Sherrone Moore, and Jim Harbaugh at the center of these investigations. Harbaugh gives a statement denying any involvement in the allegations and that he had no knowledge they were happening. Harbaugh is now the head coach of the Chargers, and his punishment would only be effective if he ever goes back to coach in college. Huge win for the NFL in the Sunday Ticket lawsuit. (20:40) Following the massive $4.7 billion jury verdict against the NFL, the trial judge granted the NFL's motion to set aside the verdict AND did not order a new trial. It is on the Plaintiff class to file an appeal in the 9th Circuit. From $14 billion after the treble damages award to $0 after this ruling. DraftKings becomes the first sportsbook to impose surcharge taxes on winnings. (28:50) In recent news DraftKings has announced that in certain states that impose high taxes on DraftKings, such as Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont, they will be imposing surcharges on bettors' winnings. They are the first but most likely not the first. We discuss the implications for bettors and possible changes in legislation. The Rock v. The Army. (34:48) The Army made an $11 million marketing deal with the Rock and the UFL, but they are not happy with their return on investment so far. The Army claims to have lost 38 recruits since the beginning of this deal. We break down this contractual situation and the potential lawsuit.
