This week we go deep on the subject of Amateurism, what "student-athlete" means and doesn't mean, and the decades long war between the Power 5 conferences and the NCAA. Specifically, we tackle the seminal NCAA v. Board of Regents (U.S. 1984) case, which has helped funnel billions of dollars into universities and Power 5 conferences arguably at the expense of every other relevant group in collegiate athletics, including the players. A special shout to Focused Athletics Philly (@focusedathletics215), where Joe is hosting a (virtual) 3-week Student Athlete Seminar on Dec. 9, 16, and 23 as part of his executive board duties with both Villanova's Street Law Society and Sports Law Society.
