Nixon Peabody Counsel Nic Mayne will take part in a virtual presentation discussing "College Football: The Day After- What Have We Done?" at the HLSA of LA event.
Details from the website:
One day after the final gun sounds at the national championship game, join the Harvard Law School Association of Los Angeles for a free-ranging discussion on the wild, whacky, confounding and unpredictable legal and business world of college football. The sport has gone from heartland sis-boom-bah, amateur players, regional conferences, a championship decided by coaches’ and writers’ polls after bowl games on New Year’s Day and a limited television presence to big business with highly compensated players and coaches, national megaconferences, a month-long playoff that runs into the third week in January and saturation coverage on all major broadcast networks, multiple cable sports networks and conference and school-specific networks. Why does the back-up quarterback at the University of Texas earn $6.6 million? Why does the Big Ten have eighteen teams? What are the University of California and Stanford doing in the Atlantic Coast Conference? Did it really cost Texas A&M more than $76 million to fire its coach? What exactly is the House Settlement? (Hint. It does not involve the House of Representatives in Washington, DC.) Please join us for some thoughtful answers to these questions as well as some predictions about what might come next.
