WSHC+B partner and chair of the firm’s Sports, Arts and Entertainment Law Practice Group, Alan K. Fertel, spoke with the “Locked On Canes” podcast about the NCAA’s recent memo stating that schools must follow NCAA rules regarding NIL over state NIL laws.
“They have no idea what they are doing in the NIL space,” Alan observed. “If they don’t take a stand they become irrelevant. If they do take a stand they force litigation within those states.”
Alan is a standout lawyer whose diverse practice includes sports, arts and entertainment law, civil litigation, commercial law, international law, and family law. Alan negotiates high value endorsement deals and sponsorship contracts for athletes including American Olympic gold medal swimmers Caeleb Dressel and Bobby Finke and two-time Olympic silver medalist Eddy Alvarez.
