Miami Law’s Entertainment & Sports Law Society, in conjunction with the Intellectual Property Law Society, presents a 40-minute panel discussion, “NIL: College Athletes Navigating IP, Marketing, and the Law,” moderated by Greg Levy, director of Miami Law’s Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law LL.M., about the NCAA's new name, image & likeness policy, its impact on college sports, and what to expect in the near future.
“The recent changes to allow college athletes to monetize their name, image and likeness will be among the most transformational changes to college sports in our lifetime,” said Levy. “Miami Law’s Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law Program convenes spaces to discuss topical issues and debate legal, business, and regulatory reform – this evening will be no different. The students have done a wonderful job in assembling a panel of accomplished experts who have been helping implement this change.”
Joining the September 22 panel will be Boston College basketball player Brevin Galloway; Darren Heitner, founder of Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C.., who has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel as well as helped draft the Florida NIL legislation; attorney and thought leader Dan Lust; and legal analyst Maddie Salamone, a former Division I lacrosse player at Duke University and former chair of the NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
“We are incredibly excited to host this timely panel on the hot topic issue of name, image and likeness with the Intellectual Property Law Society,” Lily Fontenot said. “Our esteemed panelists will help us evaluate the first 75 days of NIL and how the space will continue to evolve.”
