Sports Law Symposium Season
A number of law schools will be holding sports law panels and symposiums this month, including Harvard and Fordham. These syposiums offer a great opportunity for students interested in sports law and sports professionals to learn and network.
The rapidly changing Big East Conference will add Temple University to the mix beginning this fall in football and in 2013 in other sports. Paul Doyle of the Hartford Courant has the story.
Calipari Talks NCAA
Mike DeCourcy of the Sporting News interviewed Kentucky coach John Calipari on a number of topics, including the NCAA’s $2,000 stipend and the concept of superconferences in college sports. Calipari also talks about the long-term future of the NCAA:
They’re not going to be around long. The NCAA will not. Before I retire from coaching, they will no longer oversee college athletics. They will, but it won’t be the four power conferences—they’ll be on their own. And the main thing is, do you really care about these kids? They’ll get mad that I say it. The NCAA Tournament, for example. It’s more about the selection committee getting on TV, everybody getting their tickets on the aisle, down low, all the parties they go to, the traveling. But we don’t take the parents of the participants. But they take their kids and their families.
