The AALS Section on Law & Sports invites submissions for its Annual Meeting program, O’Bannon v. NCAA: Is There An Unprecedented Change To Intercollegiate Sports Just Over The Horizon?. Proposals must be submitted by Oct. 1, 2013. One of the four panelists will be selected from the call for papers.
The Section on Law and Sports Annual Program concerns issues surrounding the litigation commenced by Ed O’Bannon, former celebrated UCLA basketball standout, on behalf of other former collegiate student athletes against the NCAA and the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). The plaintiffs assert that the NCAA engages in anticompetitive activity by requiring student athletes to forgo their identity rights in perpetuity and in authorizing the use of their “likeness” in game rebroadcasts, DVD sales, photos, video games, without compensating those student athletes either after they graduate or stop participating in NCAA sports.
The Annual Meeting is Jan. 2-5, 2014, in New York City. The full call for papers is here: Call_for_Papers_for_2014_AALS_Mtg_-_Section_on_Law_and_Sports_
