DESCRIPTION
The theme for this year’s Symposium, the first fully in person, is Money in Sports:
The Year of Investment in Sports, examining from legal and practical perspectives
what has been an unprecedented year of private equity funds entering into the sports
space, more and broader based investment into sports properties, and unprecedented
asset growth within the sports sector.
We hope to explore this topic in four panels: Investment in Sports Betting; The Sports Media Investment Climate; Investments in Teams & Leagues; and we will reprise last year’s Sports Law Professor’s Ethics Panel as the opening session, to provide coveted Ethics Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits for attorneys in our alumni and community. The Symposium is jointly organized by Associate Dean Devon Corneal, Professor Robert Boland and the Gaming, Hospitality, Entertainment & Sports Law Initiative (aka GHamES), which was approved as a concentration for J.D. students in 2022 and the student-led Entertainment and Sports Law Society with conference co-chairs 3L’s Amber Osterbrink and Emily Nesi. There is a planned reception at the conclusion of the day’s panels and networking opportunities in addition to food and refreshments available throughout the day.
