Navigating the Changing Legal Landscape of College Athletics
August 26, 2026



Institutions across the country are busy preparing for a new year of competition amid a rapidly changing legal environment for college athletics. As we draw closer to the 2026-2027 season, institutions face challenging questions on Title IX compliance, potential federal and state legislation, new NCAA eligibility requirements, and expanded risks associated with sports betting. On top of this dynamic legal and regulatory environment, campus counsel continues to oversee increasingly complex NIL agreements with student athletes. Please join us for this two-hour webinar where presenters will cover topics, including:

• Title IX concerns, including recent court cases, settlements, and an uptick in demoting or cutting non-revenue sports;
• Player eligibility lawsuits and the new “5-for-5” rule;
• NIL and College Sports Commission updates;
• Federal and State Legislation and Other Developments; and
• Sports betting.

Who Should Attend?
This webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise on college athletics, athletics directors, and other campus administrators with responsibilities related to athletics.
