Program Highlights

• College Sports on Capitol Hill: Protecting the College Sports Act, The Score Act, Boycotts, and the Legal Consequences of Federal Action
  This discussion will examine significant legislative developments and the legal issues underlying them and the potential consequences of congressional action—or inaction. The panel will also explore the legal, commercial, and reputational considerations organizations face when responding to proposed boycotts and other forms of political and economic pressure.
• NIL, Revenue Sharing, and the Future of College Sports: Legal and Practical Perspectives from Athletes, Agents, and Advisors
  This conversation will focus on those experiencing the changes firsthand. Athletes and agents will discuss recruitment, NIL agreements, representation, transfer decisions, revenue sharing, financial planning, and the increasingly complex legal and business decisions confronting families. Taft attorneys will help frame the legal issues that arise throughout an athlete’s journey from evaluating agreements and selecting advisors.
• Building and Promoting Your NIL Value: Legal and Commercial Perspectives from Brands and Collectives
  Building NIL value requires more than visibility. It requires a thoughtful strategy for developing, commercializing, and protecting an athlete’s personal brand. Representatives from brands and collectives, together with legal perspectives from Taft, will discuss how commercial partners evaluate athletes, structure partnerships, manage reputational risk, and measure value.
