The New Gold Standard For Sports Psls: The Provisions That Allow The Golden State Warriors To Overpower A Bankruptcy Estate, Michael Medved
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
This comment will focus on how this second key difference implemented in the Warriors’ PSL would affect an eventual bankruptcy proceeding of a purchaser into their “membership program.” In the event of a purchaser filing for bankruptcy liquidation under chapter seven of the bankruptcy code, the PSL will join the rest of the bankrupt’s assets in becoming property of the now-bankrupt purchaser’s creditors estate. Purchasers into the Warriors’ offering can be either individuals or corporations. This comment will provide an analysis of how the debtor, estate, and team will likely fare in terms of recouping the value of the PSL …
Putting Public Law Into "Private" Sport, Dionne L. Koller
Putting Public Law Into "Private" Sport, Dionne L. Koller
Pepperdine Law Review
Across all levels of sport — professional, Olympic, intercollegiate, interscholastic, and youth recreational — the prevailing view is that the government should not take an active role in regulating athletics. As a result, there are relatively few federal or state statutes directed at regulating sports, and those that are aimed at sports primarily serve to support the professional sports industry. Moreover, courts show great deference to sports leagues and administrators, most often applying law in a way that insulates and empowers them. This creates a climate where leagues and administrators are permitted wide latitude to structure and conduct their respective …
The End Of An Era: The Mounting Challenges To The Ncaa’S Model Of Amateurism, John Niemeyer
The End Of An Era: The Mounting Challenges To The Ncaa’S Model Of Amateurism, John Niemeyer
Pepperdine Law Review
In the six years between 2006 and 2012, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), a nonprofit organization made up of universities, doubled its net assets to its current, unprecedented level of over $566 million. In 2012 alone, the organization retained a $71 million surplus after it disbursed a majority of its revenue to the NCAA member universities. It was able to make this much money largely because of the television revenue earned from the highly popular and entertaining sports of men’s football and men’s basketball. One would think that if a nonprofit organization could retain $71 million at the end …

Play Ball: What Can Be Done To Prevent Strikes And Lockouts In Professional Sports And Keep The Stadium Lights On, Alexandra Baumann
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
This comment analyzes the role that the National Labor Relations Board and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service play in ending strikes and lockouts caused by collective bargaining in professional sports. It then looks at what can be done to prevent lockouts and strikes in the future, which would not only benefit fans, but also stadium employees, players, and owners, as none of them make money if there are no games.
Nearly A Century In Reserve: Organized Baseball: Collective Bargaining And The Antitrust Exemption Enter The 80'S, Nancy Jean Meissner
Nearly A Century In Reserve: Organized Baseball: Collective Bargaining And The Antitrust Exemption Enter The 80'S, Nancy Jean Meissner
Pepperdine Law Review
In her comment, the author fashions a compelling argument for congressional elimination of baseball's exemption from federal antitrust laws. After noting that the exemption had been formulated in 1922 by the Supreme Court, the author explains that it has been abused by baseball club owners to create a virtual monopoly over ballplayers through the reserve system. Although the reserve system's control was somewhat diluted in 1976, with the advent of free agency and collective bargaining, club owners are currently negotiating for mandatory compensation for the loss of free agents. The resultant threat of a player's strike has served to focus …
