The Changing Landscape of Student-Athlete Employment Issues

This is part one of a three part series. Fisher Phillips Summer School: The Nexus of Employment Law and College Athletics

Amateurism in college athletics is under attack. From an aggressive National Labor Relations Board, to increasingly costly and unpredictable litigation in federal courts, to the 50-state patchwork of laws governing the use of athlete’s name, image, and likeness rights, traditional notions of amateur collegiate athletics are shifting by the day. In this unstable environment, it can be a challenge to keep up with the latest court decisions and regulatory actions. Fisher Phillips is here to help. Join Partners Stephanie Reynolds and Joshua Nadreau for a series of webinars as they break down the biggest issues facing college athletics and offer strategies for how colleges and universities can navigate this unique playing field.

The first webinar in this series, “The Changing Landscape of Student-Athlete Employment Issues,” will provide a general overview of issues affecting student athletes. Topics covered will include Title IX, potential employee status, and recent developments in the NIL space. The webinar will also discuss recent agency and court cases impacting potential student athlete employee status.

If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Bigelow.
