Sports Antitrust: The Rules Off the Field are Changing

Event Description

Deadline to Register:  April 18, 2017

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Curt Flood challenged Major League Baseball’s reserve clause. NFL Players John Mackey, Reggie White and Tom Brady brought antitrust challenges against the National Football League.

For decades, antitrust law has played a significant role in major league sports.  As those battles continue, the fight has also expanded into the NCAA and other leagues.  Learn the current rules of the game – and those likely to change – in this presentation by two lawyers who have been in the middle of many of the battles.
