Federal judge Carlos E. Mendoza (MD Fla.) has held that #esports is not a "sport" for purposes of examining Title IX gender equity, noting “esports does not require athletic ability”; the great @McCannSportsLaw reporting. https://t.co/xBAF4pNifh via @sportico

[Michael McCann @McCannSportsLaw]

The NCAA's guilty-until-proven-innocent approach to separating NIL from pay-to-play might help with enforcement, but also arguably interferes with NIL dealmaking and is vulnerable to antitrust and state NIL statute lawsuits. I have more with @TomMarsLaw: https://t.co/ECjbIrvYLP

So many reasons to be excited about the @SaulEwing rebrand. Here are a few more that arrived just this morning! Too soon to be looking ahead to next golf season? 😅

[Daniel S. Greene, Esq. @DanGreene15]

Connecticut's amended #NIL law goes into effect today, which removes the prohibition of athletes from using the school's mascots, logos, colors, etc. in NIL deals, and requires schools to adopt a policy regarding the use of school IP.

The Dept. of Education seems to be gearing up to release the proposed #TitleIX regs, as they have updated the OMB/OIRA page to say June 2022. Many have speculated that the release will happen tomorrow, on the 50th Anniversary of T9's enactment into law (June 23, 1972) #EdLaw
