Emerging Legal Issues with New Forms of Athlete Compensation
2-3pm Panel Discussion
3-4pm Reception
Hosted by the NYU Center for Labor and Employment Law and Pryor Cashman LLP
Join this in-person exploration of how technology has revolutionized the methods by which athletes are compensated for their work, performances, name, likeness, and image (NIL). What novel legal and business issues are facing athletes, their advisors, leagues, and licensors? How may traditional licensing and collective bargaining arrangements need to adapt? Innovative compensation such as via NFTs and tokenization, the metaverse, e-sports, and social media will be discussed, as well as considerations for high school and college athletes in the wake of NCAA v. Alston. Cooperating organizations are the NYU Stern Entertainment, Media, and Sports Association, the NYU SPS Preston Robert Tisch Institute for Global Sport, and the Sports Law Association at NYU Law.
