TAMU Law Answers Webinar Series

Due to the need for college athletic departments to focus on the recent impacts of COVID-19 on NCAA sports in general, we have decided to postpone this webinar to a later date. We appreciate your interest and we will notify you of the new date when available. Stay safe!

The NCAA "Pay for Play" and the College Athlete: How Will All the Pieces Fit? Who Will Control the Puzzle?

NCAA Webinar

On September 27, 2019, California signed into law Senate Bill 206 which allows California’s collegiate athletes to profit off of their name, image or likeness. The law is scheduled to go into effect January 1, 2023. California’s passing of S.B. 206 has set off a chain reaction. Currently, over 34 states have drafted their own Pay for Play provisions which has forced the NCAA’s hand. In response, the NCAA is working on its own version of collegiate athletes profiting off of their name, image, or likeness. California has tipped the apple cart and now has everyone scrambling. This free webinar will explore the shape and contours of this potential “new normal” and will give us some insight on what we can expect when collegiate athletes finally start getting paid.

During the one-hour webinar, attendees will be able to ask questions of our experts.

Date and Time:

  • Tuesday, July 14, 12:00 noon - 1:00 p.m. Central 

Discussion Topics:

  • How are athletic programs reacting to this coming phenomena?
  • What adjustments will athletic programs have to make?
  • What unintended consequences will stem from collegiate athletes now being able to profit off of their name, image, or likeness?
  • What adjustments will the players have to make?

Presenters:

  • Neal Newman, Professor of Law, Texas A&M University School of Law
  • Meg Penrose (moderator), Professor of Law, Texas A&M University School of Law

While some of the panelists are attorneys, they will be discussing the law generally, and nothing in the webinar should be considered as legal advice. Attendees should consult their own legal advisor to address their own unique circumstances.
