Preparing for Kick Off: Athletics Issues for 2025-2026

The first college games and competitions of the academic year are kicking off, but that doesn’t mean legal issues surrounding college sports had an off-season. Institutions are working on implementation of the House settlement along with quick-moving legal issues surrounding NIL and NCAA policies, the Saving College Sports Executive Order from the White House, and the SCORE Act moving through the U.S. House of Representatives. Outside of the major headlines, campus counsel continue to work on other legal issues keeping athletics departments running and compliant with various laws and regulations.

Please join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will explore and provide a legal and regulatory landscape overview, including:

• Federal, NCAA, and litigation updates, including enforcement expectations and issues related to the House settlement, federal legislation and activity, and ongoing antitrust litigation;
• NIL 2.0 institutional involvement, the evolving marketplace, and the College Sports Commission;
• NIL contract issues and best practices; and
• Gender equity and Title IX compliance.
