Leveling the Playing Field: NIL Arbitration After House v. NCAA - June 18th 2025

Duration: 1 hour

Time: 12:30 - 1:30 PM (Central Time)

Location: Online via Zoom

Program Description:

With the House v. NCAA settlement poised to reshape college athletics, this webinar explores the legal and practical impact on NIL governance and dispute resolution. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the House case, its implications for athlete compensation and institutional roles, and the rising potential for NIL-related conflicts.

The program will also introduce the AAA’s Due Process Guidelines for the Arbitration of Sports Participation and Name, Image, and Likeness Disputes and its Supplementary Procedures for the Arbitration of Sports Participation and Name, Image, and Likeness Disputes—designed to provide for fair, fast, and athlete-centered resolution of NIL disputes. Real-world examples will highlight how these tools apply in a post-House landscape, helping schools, collectives, athletes, and brands navigate this new era with confidence.

CLE INFORMATION

The AAA has not applied for and is not offering CLE credits in any jurisdiction for this program. Registrants desiring CLE credit (or those professionals in a discipline other than the practice of law) will be able to request a certificate of attendance, which may be used for self-pursuit of CLE credit in their jurisdictions. In so doing, the AAA suggests that you confirm applications requirements for this type of course with the appropriate licensing body.
