Welcome to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you informed on everything at the intersection of sports and the law. Every week, Tarun (⁠⁠@tksharmalaw⁠⁠) and Mike (⁠⁠@Mike_sonof_Law⁠⁠) keep you up to date on the latest regarding name, image and likeness. Adam Dale from Winston & Strawn joined Tarun and Mike to discuss the latest on NIL and the lawsuits against the NCAA. Adam was awarded with Conduct Detrimental's 10 Under 10 award, recognizing attorneys making an impact in sports law who have been practicing for under 10 years. Adam Dale was a part of the legal team for the Alston v. NCAA case that went all the way up to the Supreme Court, and he joined to give insight on the next steps in the NIL world. (2:00) The Alston case is a pivotal case in the world of college sports, and a major win for athletes. Adam talks a little bit about the recent case filed against the NCAA, which is a follow up from the Alston case. Hubbard v. NCAA is seeking monetary damages for the educational benefits that were withheld from athletes, as decided by Alston. Adam discusses what athletes had access to these benefits and the analysis of the Alston decision in determining their damages. We also discuss the House v. NCAA case which is catered towards athletes benefiting off their name, image, and likeness. Syracuse University is making headlines related to NIL for two reasons. (30:08) The first reason is a major player in the NIL space and critical to Syracuse area NIL deals, Adam Weitsman, has reportedly stepped away from his dealings with Syracuse athletes. Weitsman reported that he will no longer sign NIL deals for Syracuse athletes, and he will no longer bring in high profile celebrities to sit courtside at Syracuse basketball games. Weitsman cites that people in his circle were getting reports that the Syracuse Chancellor was not fond of the actions and reputation that Weitsman was bringing to Syracuse University and its athletic department. Weitsman did state that he will honor his current NIL deals with Syracuse athletes. The second reason is Syracuse big man, Jesse Edwards, has entered the transfer portal. The reason stated was because Edwards could not strike an NIL deal that would keep him in Syracuse. We discuss the niche dealings here because Edwards is an international student-athlete, who based on his Visa, is restricted from earning money in the United States. *** Have a topic you want to write about?
