Chair of our Sports and Entertainment Law Group, Alan Fertel, was interviewed by both WIOD and WQAM sports talk radio stations regarding the Urban Meyer/Zach Smith scandal at Ohio State University. He provided commentary on the Ohio State University “independent” Investigation, conduct that causes a breach of coaching contracts, morals clauses, Title IX violations, the NCAA, the importance of accurately getting out in front of a story, accountability and damage control. Alan discussed the incredible power of successful college football coaches and the appropriate way to conduct a Title IX investigation in the current “politically correct” environment. Alan used his experience in drafting and litigating morals clauses and coaching/athletic director contracts to provide insight on these issues, as well as the effect of the recent ”me too” movement and improper conduct of various athletes in violation of their morals clauses to explain the legal consequences and potential ramifications of violating such clauses.
