It's been three years since the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held in National Collegiate Athletic Association v. Alston that the NCAA's rules on player compensation violated federal antitrust law. Since then, Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals have proliferated for college athletes, and universities and fans alike are grappling with the changes and their impact on the recruitment and retention of top prospects.
You can read more about the history and future of these developments in College Sports Law in a Nutshell, a newly published title now available in the West Academic Study Aids Library. Attorney Dan Lust and Ole Miss sports law professor William W. Berry III cover such topics as NIL, the transfer portal, and the impact of conference realignment.
West Academic Study Aids Library also includes Walter T. Champion, Jr.'s Sports Law in a Nutshell, 5th ed. 2017, which includes some content about collegiate athletics. Other general sports law treatises can be found in the major legal research services, often grouped with entertainment law in subject area browsing. On Westlaw, select the practice area Arts & Entertainment & Sports Law to view available titles, such as Champion's Fundamentals of Sports Law 2d. On Lexis, the Entertainment & Sports practice area includes the treatise Sports Law Practice as well as sports contracts in the Forms and Analysis section. PLI Plus includes the treatise Sports Law: A Practical Guide to Protecting the Interests of Athletes.
Keep up with the latest developments in the world of sports law with additional titles like the Hackney Publications in HeinOnline, a collection of two dozen sports law journals that include Legal Issues in Collegiate Athletics and Title IX Alert. The Athletic’s coverage of college and pro sports is available to current members of the Law School community through our group NYTimes.com subscription.
