SportsWise: A Podcast About Sports and the Law

Written by: Gabe Feldman
  • Summary

  • Hosted by Gabe Feldman--Director of the Tulane Sports Law Program, NFL Network Legal Analyst, and sports industry consultant, this podcast will look at current and breaking stories in the sports world and tell the largely untold (and often misunderstood) legal story behind the headlines. It will also explore significant sports stories and lawsuits that have been overlooked or forgotten. The goal of the podcast is to help people understand why and how each of these stories and cases have had such a big impact on the sports world and beyond. Who is the podcast for? Three audiences: 1) Sports fans who want to understand more about sports. There is a basic fact that gets overlooked by many sports fans: Most of the rules in sports—from salary caps to free agency restrictions to television deals to franchise relocation requirements to NCAA amateurism rules— are the way they are because of the law, and not simply because teams, leagues, or players want them that way. This podcast will help you become a better and more educated sports fan.2) People who may or may not like sports but who want to explore the idea of sports as a mirror of society. This podcast will help us see sports tell us about bigger social, financial and political issues. For example, what can return to play issues for college and pro sports tell us about how we value the health and safety of our students, the role of athletics in education, economic and civil rights, and the role of sports in society generally. 3) My mom. Because she likes to hear me talk.Enjoy...

     On this episode, we're going to cover...what else?! The House case and the objections that were recently filed to try to convince Judge Wilkin to reject the proposed settlement. To help me break it all down, I'm joined by one of the objectors, Len Simon. Len has practiced law for over 50 years, including many sports law cases and many class actions, and he has a lot to say about the proposed settlement.

    On this episode, I'm joined by Sedona Prince and Jim Cavale to talk about Sedona’s involvement as a named plaintiff in the House v NCAA case, Jim’s role in attempting to create a players association for college athletes, and their view on the role and power of college athletes going forward. We also talk about the growth of women’s college basketball. While Caitlin Clark gets a lot of the credit for the explosion in popularity, Sedona’s viral Tik Tok video in 2021 is often referred to as the moment that changed the NCAA and women’s college basketball forever.

    Dec 8 2024

    Send us a text

    With the dawn of a new era of college sports almost upon us, schools are preparing to share up to $20 million a year with their athletes. Many of these schools appear to be planning to pay football and men's basketball players a large chunk of that $20 million. How can schools divide up the money between male and female athletes without getting sued under Title IX? To help me break down all of the murky Title IX issues facing universities and how it all might play out, I'm joined by Title IX expert and sports lawyer with CCH& A Law, Kelleigh Fagan.
