Rewriting The Playbook: The X’S And O’S Of The House Settlement And The Future Of Student-Athletes’ Voice In Their Compensation, Matthew K.V. Glazer

Seattle University Law Review

Since the formation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the 1900s, collegiate athletes (student-athletes) have been prohibited from using their own name, image and likeness (NIL) for profit. But on July 1, 2021, the NCAA changed course and began allowing student-athletes to profit from their own NIL. In the past few years, U.S. college athletics have undergone significant changes, most notably introducing monetary compensation for student-athletes’ NIL. While these changes were long overdue and ultimately beneficial, they have significantly disrupted the landscape of college sports, giving rise to numerous challenges that some experts have compared to the “Wild …

Murphy V. Ncaa: The Constitutionality Of State-Authorized Sports Gambling, Shane Landers Jan 2019

Murphy V. Ncaa: The Constitutionality Of State-Authorized Sports Gambling, Shane Landers

Texas A&M Law Review

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Thus, “Congress may not simply ‘commandee[r] the legislative processes of the States by directly compelling them to enact and enforce a federal regulatory program.’” In Murphy v. NCAA, the United States Supreme Court held that a federal law that prevents States from legalizing sports gambling “violates the anticommandeering rule.” The Supreme Court’s decision in Murphy reemphasizes a fundamental principle of dual sovereignty—Congress is prohibited from “issu[ing] direct orders to the governments of …


Covering The Spread: An Assessment Of Amateurism And Vulnerability Of Student-Athletes In An Emerging Culture Of Sports Wagering, Caitlin D. Buckstaff Jan 2013

Covering The Spread: An Assessment Of Amateurism And Vulnerability Of Student-Athletes In An Emerging Culture Of Sports Wagering, Caitlin D. Buckstaff

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

Sports gambling is an extremely lucrative, but scrutinized, industry. Athletic organizations contend that any form of sports wagering adversely affects players, teams, and spectators. They argue that intermingling gambling with sports turns spectators into skeptics and taints honest and fair competition. Congress enacted legislation limiting the scope of permissible sports wagering, but this legislation is under attack by many states advocating its repeal. The expansion of legalized sports wagering poses a threat, particularly on collegiate athletics. By definition, college athletes are amateurs. The definition of amateurism forms the foundation for the regulations governing intercollegiate competition. But, this status coupled with …


Major League Baseball And The National Collegiate Athletic Association: Private Lotteries And Enforceable Contracts, Charles S. Michels Jan 2012

Major League Baseball And The National Collegiate Athletic Association: Private Lotteries And Enforceable Contracts, Charles S. Michels

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Note argues that both the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Major League Baseball (MLB) have run or continue to run contests for playoff tickets that constitute lotteries under state law. For a contest to be considered a lottery in New York and Indiana, there must be a prize, consideration, and chance. Both of these schemes meet these three requirements, because entrants pay a non-refundable fee for a chance to purchase a playoff ticket to games at a time when the face value of the ticket will likely be much lower than the market value of the ticket. However, …
