We are happy to have Sam C. Ehrlich, J.D., Ph.D., on the podcast. After practicing as a sports agent consultant and immigration attorney, Sam earned his Ph.D. in sport management at Florida State University before joining the Boise State University Department of Management in 2020. His research examines legal aspects of the sports industry, specifically focusing on issues in athlete fairness in collective bargaining and employment, the unique application of antitrust law to sports, risk management and tort liability for sport event managers, and legal issues in athlete representation.

We talk to Sam at length about the NCAA Athletic Grant-In-Aid Cap Antitrust Litigation, which is being considered for review by the Supreme Court of the United States. Specifically, we discuss the legacy of NCAA v. Board of Regents (U.S., 1984) and how several federal courts have interpreted that case in three fundamentally different ways.
