The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered the
collegiate athletics landscape. Entire athletic seasons have been lost,
tournaments and championships have been canceled, and the ability of student
athletes to gather and practice has been curtailed. College and
university attorneys are examining the novel legal issues and practical
challenges raised by the sudden changes forced by the pandemic as well as
planning for an eventual restart of athletics programs. Please join us
for a NACUA Briefing with Scott Bearby, Vice President of Legal Affairs &
General Counsel at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA); Patrick
Dunkley, Senior University Counsel and Deputy Athletics Director at Stanford
University; and Janet Judge, Partner at Holland & Knight LLP, who will walk
through the unique need-to-know issues during this challenging time. They will
address key legal and practical considerations in light of the COVID-19
pandemic, such as the role of counsel in advising athletics operations, NCAA
rules compliance and updates, coach and athletics staff employment
considerations, and ongoing Title IX equity and non-discrimination obligations.
This 30-minute briefing will be audio-only and will be
complimentary to NACUA members.
