Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast

Is baseball really back? The Athletic's MLB Analyst Evan Dreillich drops in to give us the scoop on: nuclear grievances, anatomy of opt outs, what happens if an Orlando Pride outbreak occurs and, lastly, what’s in the letter Manfred sent to the Yankees about sign-stealing that's the subject of ongoing litigation.

The big story in college is Under Armour who signed on with UCLA for the largest contract in college sports history and now wants to break it. We’ll explain and also cover the punishment handed out to the New England Patriots for yet another videotaping scandal. Fair or unfair - you be the judge!

Conduct Detrimental officially welcomes Dan Lust as new co-host. The Two Dans kick things off with their analysis of the Kobe Bryant wrongful death lawsuit, the legal issues surrounding the Ohio State “Buckeye Pledge” regarding Covid-19, and a possible return to action of the NBA and Major League Baseball. Will there be a grievance filed by the MLBPA? The final segment of the show features an update on the Zion Williamson vs. Gina Ford litigation, with analysis from both Dan Wallach and Dan Lust.

A Miami judge has denied Zion Williamson’s request to delay discovery into Gina Ford’s allegations that he received improper economic benefits to attend Duke. As a result, Williamson must now answer these questions under oath within the next 2 weeks. That is, unless Williamson’s attorneys file an immediate appeal, which is expected. Sports law expert Dan Lust joins me to break down the court ruling and discuss the likely next steps, including a possible appeal and whether it will be successful.

Sports law attorney Dan Lust joins Daniel Wallach to discuss the latest legal controversies in the world of sports. Highlights include a discussion of the criminal cases brought against NFL players DeAndre Baker, Quinton Dunbar, and Ed Oliver, and how they intersect with the possibility of NFL discipline under the CBA’s “credible evidence” standard. Plus, a preview of the Zion Williamson discovery battle over the relevance of the “pay-to-play” allegations concerning his time at Duke, and, finally, a possible return of professional sports amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the legal issues which may arise.
