Debunking The Ncaa's Myth That Amateurism Conforms With Antitrust Law: A Legal And Statistical Analysis, Thomas A. Baker Iii, Marc Edelman, Nicholas M. Watanabe Jan 2018

Debunking The Ncaa's Myth That Amateurism Conforms With Antitrust Law: A Legal And Statistical Analysis, Thomas A. Baker Iii, Marc Edelman, Nicholas M. Watanabe

Tennessee Law Review

This article provides the first detailed study to show that paying college football players does not decrease fan interest in watching college football-substantially debunking the NCAA's myth that amateurism conforms to the requirements of antitrust law. Part I of this article details the history of collegiate sports in the United States and the NCAA's amateurism rules. Part II examines the origins and evolution of the NCAA's procompetitive presumption defense of amateurism; a legal fiction that presumes consumer interest in amateurism justifies a quasi-antitrust exemption for the NCAA's "no pay" rules. Part III sets the framework for our empirical study by …

Defamation Per Se And Transgender Status: When Macro-Level Value Judgments About Equality Trump Micro-Level Reputational Injury, Clay Calvert, Ashton T. Hampton, Austin Vining Jan 2018

Defamation Per Se And Transgender Status: When Macro-Level Value Judgments About Equality Trump Micro-Level Reputational Injury, Clay Calvert, Ashton T. Hampton, Austin Vining

Tennessee Law Review

This Article uses the September 2017 defamation decision in Simmons v. American Media, Inc. as a springboard for examining defamatory meaning and reputational injury. Specifically, it focuses on cases in which judges acknowledge that plaintiffs have suffered reputational harm yet rule for defendants because promoting the cultural value of equality weighs against redress. In Simmons, a normative, axiological judgment-that the law should neither sanction nor ratify prejudicial views about transgender individuals prevailed at the trial court level over a celebrity's ability to recover for alleged reputational harm. Simmons sits at a dangerous intersection: a crossroads where a noble judicial desire …

Ethics And Public Health Of Driverless Vehicle Collision Programming, Samantha Godwin Jan 2018

Ethics And Public Health Of Driverless Vehicle Collision Programming, Samantha Godwin

Tennessee Law Review

Driverless vehicles present a core ethical dilemma: there is a public health necessity and moral imperative to encourage the widespread adoption of driverless vehicles once they become demonstrably more reliable than human drivers, given their potential to dramatically reduce automobile fatalities, increase autonomy for disabled people, and improve land use and commutes. However, the very technologies that could enable autonomous vehicles to drive more safely than human drivers also imply greater moral responsibility for adverse outcomes. While human drivers must make split-second decisions in automobile collision scenarios, driverless car programmers have the luxury of time to reflect and choose deliberately …
