Posts about Michael McCann
It's Tuesday and we have a live r/CFB Talk coming your way tonight at 10pm ET (link):
r/CFB Talk XX: Talking current topics in college sports law with Prof. Michael McCann, Legal Analyst and Senior Sports Legal Reporter for Sportico, on Twitter Spaces!
Twitter Spaces are available on Twitter (we try to schedule them ahead for a stationary link), you can listen from desktop or mobile, but to participate they corral you into using the mobile app. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Prof. Michael McCann is one of the top names in sports law and someone we enjoy reading because he's able to take complex legal issues and make them accessible without taking away their nuances.
While he and I are both lawyers and educators, this talk will be built around accessible questions to help a lay audience better understand the topics — we will touch on the hot topics including Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policies, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and NCAA v. Alston, and more.
Here's his Sportico bio:

He is the Editor of the "Oxford University Press Handbook of American Sports Law" and, with Ed O'Bannon, co-author of "Court Justice: The Inside Story of My Battle Against the NCAA." McCann has also authored more than 20 book chapters and law review articles, including placements in the Yale Law Journal and Boston College Law Review.
