Big Trouble For M GO BLUE?

August 31, 2009

Could University of Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez be putting the Woverines in hot water? Allegations of exceeding NCAA practice time limits have been made by current and former Michigan players. Michigan's athletic department compliance officials will be busy with this one.

NCAA’s time-commitment rules exist for the health and safety of the players.  There are allegations that the University Of Michigan's football program has far-exceeded the set limits.

Also, for the young aspiring sports lawyer the college compliance field continues to grow and offers many job oppurtunities that were not there ten years ago. Check out this link on Big 12 Conference compliance.

An interesting USTA (United States Tennis Association) interview with
Donald Dell. Dell loves to take credit for representing Michael Jordan. Even though the first contract Dell negotiated for Jordan with the Bulls, was not a good one as stated by David Falk in his recent book. It is curious that the USTA interview does not mention that Dell negotiated the USTA contract with ESPN for the US Open television rights.  Link:
