What would it mean if an Ivy League MBB team was given the right to unionize? What would promotion-regulation look like in college football? Welcome to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you informed on everything at the intersection of sports and the law. Lots going on in the world of college sports this week. Tarun (@tksharmalaw), Mike (@MikesonofLaw), and Holly (@SlamDunkSummers) are joined by frequent guest host, Amanda Christovich (@achristovichh) from Front Office Sports to discuss the big stories from this week including the promotion-regulation proposal that Amanda broke on Thursday. Dartmouth's men's basketball team filed a petition to unionize with the NLRB with the help of the Local 560 chapter of the Service Employees International Union. Dartmouth has the opportunity to recognize the union voluntarily, but doing so would violate the NCAA's amateurism model. But, if successful, the players would not gain the right to collectively bargain, but would also be considered university employees. The team discusses how the petition compares to Northwestern's misclassification case. The Superior Court of Washington ruled in favor of Oregon State and Washington State on Monday, granting a temporary restraining order against the Pac-12. This will restrict the conference from conducting board meetings until the court rules further. Washington State and Oregon State are the only continuing Pac-12 members beyond this year. The schools filed a complaint to prevent votes on the Pac-12's future from occurring until legal clarity is obtained on who controls the leftovers. This week, Amanda broke the news about the first official pitch for Promotion-Regulation in College Football created by Mountain West administrator, Mike Walsh. The proposal comes in the form of a 22-slide PowerPoint that lays out what the schedule would look like, how structuring would work, and its effect on Olympic sports. The team speculates on its success and how it would change college athletics as we know it. Finally, Lincoln Riley is stirring up commotion at USC by banning Orange County Register beat reporter Luca Evans for two weeks. Riley took issue with a story that Evans wrote featuring Quinton Joyner, freshman running back. USC contended that this violated a policy that prohibits reporting on the team outside of media-permissive areas. **Lincoln Riley ended Evans' suspension on Thursday night, after a "long conversation" with Evans** Have a topic you want to write about?
