This course is designed to provide an overview of the legal concepts and principles that relate to sports as a recreational pursuit and sports as a business. The class and assignments will explore the relationship of law to organized sports, intercollegiate sports, and professional sports. Legal theories will be discussed and their application analyzed through discussion, research, and application to current and ongoing events in sports. We will also develop an understanding of the rules of sports, on field, off field, contract related, and created through the collective bargaining process.
