A Francis King Carey School of Law panel Sept. 15 will examine the legal impact of NCAA v. Alston.
What is the next play for college sports after the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling in NCAA v. Alston that opened the door to student-athletes using their name, image, and likeness to earn money?
“From the start, American colleges and universities have had a complicated relationship with sports and money,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the unanimous opinion of the court. While total revenue collected by college sports programs grew from $4 billion in 2003 to over $14 billion in 2017, student-athletes saw virtually none of that money. That is about to change.

Rifkin '82, managing partner, Rifkin Weiner Livingston, LLC; chair of the firm's Sports Media, Transactions and Facilities Law Group; and adjunct professor of sports law, University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, as he moderates a panel discussion about the legal implications of NCAA v.
