California's NIL Revenue Sharing Bill, Alleged Lies and "Computer" Crimes at Michigan, Alec Baldwin Involuntary Manslaughter, & LIV's CW Deal

Welcome back to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you up to date on everything at the intersection of sports and the law! In this episode, Dan Lust is joined by Justin Mader (@MaderLaw) to discuss breaking issues in the world of Sports Law. Conlan Farrell (@Conlan_Farrell) also joins the podcast to discuss his bets for the weekend. A recent valuation of college prospect Jaden Rashada has muddied the waters surrounding his NIL saga with the University of Florida. (1:52) Now it seems that his initial contract was worth way more than this valuation. This is leading some to criticize the initial NIL deal. The California legislature has introduced a bill that would require California colleges and universities to share sports revenue with their athletes. (9:18) This bill provides two avenues that schools can follow either paying 50% of their revenue or the growth in revenue year-to-year. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has been accused by the NCAA of lying during their investigations into Level II infractions by the school. (23:27) Harbaugh has denied that he ever lied and claims that he simply does not recall whether those events happened. This has led to a stalemate between the two parties. Matt Weiss, the co-offensive coordinator for the Michigan Wolverines, has been accused of computer crimes related to unauthorized access of emails. (32:06) He has been placed on leave while the investigation is underway. Drawing comparisons to the Weiss situation, Dan and Justin revisit the story of Cardinal's employee Chris Correa. (37:07) Correa was sentenced to 46 months in prison following his unauthorized access to Astro's emails and scouting databases. In pop culture news, Alec Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter following the incident he was involved in while filming Rust. (50:16) Baldwin's lawyers have stressed that they feel these charges will not hold up. LIV Golf has found a TV broadcasting home at the CW network. (54:53) While an unlikely spot, if successful, this could allow the Saudi-backed league to acquire a more lucrative TV deal in the future.  Finally, in the ever popular segment "What to Watch For", both Dan and Justin give their picks for the best sports programs to check out right now.
