I forgot that reader Sokki Chen asked me two questions for a long time, but somehow remembered today that I never got around to answering the 2nd question. If you are interested in reviewing the post that I made concerning Sokki’s first question, Can Olympic/Student Athletes Obtain Endorsements?, you may do so by clicking the […]
We love our readers. Especially when they make comments on this blog and send e-mails with questions or compliments. Reader, Sokki Chen asks: How would the UAAA be applied to an Olympic athlete who is also a NCAA student athlete.

The Sports Lawyers Association is a website for “practicing lawyers, law educators, law students, and other professionals with an interest in law relating to professional and amateur sports.” It is a nonprofit organization headed by Kenneth Shropshire, author of The Business of Sports Agents, a book that I feel is a must for any future […]
