Good Initiative, Bad Judgement: The Unintended Consequences Of Title Ix's Proportionality Standard On Ncaa Men's Gymnastics And The Transgender Athlete, Jeffrey Shearer
Student Scholarship
Title IX fails to provide the tools or guidelines necessary to equalize opportunities for all student athletes in the collegiate setting despite the government’s continuous effort to explain the law. This failure is because judicial precedent has largely developed around the binary proportionality test of compliance. Title IX was originally intended to equalize educational opportunities for male and female students in order to remedy past discrimination in our society. However, the application of Title IX has frequently created fewer opportunities in athletics due to the unintended relationship between the proportionality standard and the social phenomenon that is the commercialization of …

College Athletes In Revenue-Generating Sports As Employees: A Look Into The Alt-Labor Future, Roberto L. Corrada
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
This article will begin by looking at some current and recent litigation brought by college athletes against their respective universities as well as recent state legislation that may affect their status as employees. Part I will focus on what the courts, agencies, scholars, and state legislators have said or implied about whether these athletes are or should be employees under the law. This Part will demonstrate why the designation of athletes in revenue-generating sports is fragile and cannot endure for much longer. Part II switches and focuses on college “work study” programs, showing in fact that there is nothing unusual …

The Northwestern University Football Case: A Dissent, Roberto L. Corrada
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
This Article argues that the NLRB issued a non-decision in Northwestern University. A close look at the opinion shows that the Board refused to make findings it is statutorily required to make when ruling on an election petition. Though the decision buries much of this evidence in its footnotes, this Article unearths this evidence and reveals how the footnotes consistently disclaim statements made by the Board in the decision’s text. Moreover, close scrutiny of the precedent cited by the NLRB reveals that the Board may not, in fact, have the authority to exercise the discretion it claims for itself in …

The Female Act: Bringing Title Ix Into The Twenty-First Century, Courtney Tibbetts
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
What was once lauded as a progressive champion for women has been decaying in practice. Enacted more than forty-five years ago, Title IX's unforeseen consequences and shortcomings are primarily borne by female collegiate athletes. To comply with Title IX, the majority of college athletic programs follow the proportionality standard, which mandates that male and female participation in athletics must be substantially proportional to universities' overall undergraduate enrollment. Female participation in college athletics has increased to nearly five times the pre-1972 participation rates since the introduction of Title IX. While that progress is admirable, the athletes of today-both male and female-deserve …

Red Card On Wage Discrimination: Us Soccer Pay Disparity Highlights Inadequacy Of The Equal Pay Act, Hannah L.E. Masters
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
In the months leading up to its latest World Cup win, the US Women's National Team sued its parent organization over income inequality in US soccer. Statements from high-profile players, like Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, contributed to a national conversation about the gender pay gap that exists not just in soccer but across many professions. The claims of the Women's Team should make for a perfect Equal Pay Act claim, but all signs point to a loss. Instead, the women are far more likely to succeed on their claim arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, despite …

Are College Football Players Being Promised Big Nfl Bucks And Being Shortchanged In The Classroom And On The Field?, Melanie Navarro
UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
Football is America’s pastime. Over one hundred million people tuned in to watch this year’s Super Bowl. Sundays during football season are spent in front of a television rooting for our favorite teams. Football has been an integral part of American culture for over 120 years. But in recent years, football has lost yardage. Information regarding the causal link between head injuries on the football field and degenerative brain diseases has come to light. Thousands of former National Football League (“NFL”) players took part in a highly publicized class-action lawsuit against the league. Players alleged that the NFL knew of …

Enemy Of The People: The Ghost Of The F.C.C. Fairness Doctrine In The Age Of Alternative Facts, Ian Klein
UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
The FCC Fairness Doctrine required that all major broadcasting outlets spend equal time covering both sides of all controversial issues of national importance. The Fairness Doctrine remained the standard for decades before it stopped being enforced during the Reagan administration, and was removed from the Federal Register during the Obama administration. Since the Fairness Doctrine’s disappearance, the perception by conservatives and progressives alike has been that major media outlets display overt biases towards one political affiliation or the other. As it becomes harder to determine real news from “fake news,” Americans’ trust in media is at an all-time low. An …

Forum Delegation: The Birth And Transposition Of A New Approach To Public Forum Doctrine, Brett Johnson, Shane C. Epping
UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
This paper introduces and explores the concept of forum delegation: the power of government officials to suggest which forums to allow speakers to use. The concept is born out of a recent legal battle between the University of Minnesota and conservative speaker Ben Shapiro, in which the UMN required Shapiro to speak in a venue away from the heart of campus due to concerns over the school’s ability to provide adequate security for the event. The paper first analyzes the UMN case to assess the constitutionality of forum delegation in the context of regulating speech and public universities. Next, it …

Corruption And College Sports: A Love Story, Andrea Cristiani Closa
UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
College sports are a staple of American tradition, bringing in hundreds of millions of viewers each year. Fans from all over the country root for their team’s success and hope they will be the ones to take home the national championship each year. Increasingly, however, college sports have been in the public eye for a very different reason: corruption. The National Collegiate Athletics Association’s (“NCAA”) Amateurism Rule, which prohibits student-athletes from receiving compensation, has contributed to this ongoing corruption. The NCAA insists upon its student-athletes remaining amateurs, even though its own rule is damaging the integrity of college sports. Players, …
