SportsWise: A Podcast About Sports and the Law
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...

Episode 64: Can the NCAA Prevent Additional Future (or Current!) Antitrust Lawsuits? With Garrett Broshuis, Lead Counsel for the Plaintiffs in Fontenot v. NCAA,.
The NCAA and the Power 5 conferences reached a historic proposed settlement in the House, Hubbard, and Carter cases, that will not only provide over $2.7B in back damages to eligible college athletes who don’t opt out of the settlement, and will create a revenue sharing model going forward (among many other things), but will also attempt to limit the possibility of other antitrust lawsuits in the present and the future challenging restrictions on athlete compensation. One of those other lawsuits is Fontenot vs. the NCAA, an antitrust suit first brought in federal court in Colorado last year by the law firm Korein Tillery, led by Garrett Broshius. Garrett joins the pod to break down why he’s bringing the case, how the House settlement impacts his case, his view on the House settlement, and why he’s not ready to settle.
