About The Speakers

Join Temple Law Review for our 2024 annual symposium, “A House Divided: A Legal and Practical Discussion on the Changing Landscape of College Athletics” on October 17, 2024. This year’s symposium will bring together legal and business scholars, sports agents, athletes, and policy makers to discuss recent changes in the world of sports law.

College athletics has reached a fever pitch in recent years and carries the potential to impact many facets of the legal profession including employment law, intellectual property law, contract law, and antitrust law. The current changes may affect athletes at not only collegiate levels, but high school and professional levels as well.

Settlement discussions in House v. NCAA have driven one of the greatest movements in sports law. In House, a class of former college athletes alleged antitrust violations against the Power Five conferences and the NCAA. The settlement could reach billions of dollars and would be a significant step towards revenue sharing between schools and athletes. Temple Law Review is proud to have Steve Berman, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs in House, as the symposium keynote speaker.

Join panels of leading scholars and professionals to discuss:

The broader impacts of the House settlement discussions;
The recognition of college athletes as employees and its impact;
The intricacies of representing athletes, with particular focus on the practical side of lawyering; and
The academic and legal issues surrounding name, image, and likeness deals and intellectual property.

CLE is available for in-person attendees.
