Panel Two: The Influence of Money in College Sports: Coaches’ Salaries, Student-Athlete Name-Image-Likeness, Conference TV Deals, Gambling & Title IX
The continual infusion of money and new financial distribution models are creating unique and challenging issues for college sports in the United States. With some college football coaches making more money than the college president, and some student-athletes making over a million dollars in annual “NIL” revenue, should college athletes still be considered amateurs, professionals, and/or employees? And, what about the gender equity federal law that is Title IX? The answers to these and many more questions will be explored during the panel discussion.
Panel Three: The Impact of AI on Entertainment
The third panel will explore the myriad legal and business challenges in the entertainment industry presented by generative AI technology, including its impact on screenwriters, authors, actors and other content creators, and highlighted by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes, where AI’s potential replacement of humans is a major issue.
