College Sports: Unions / Realignment / Transfers; Kyler's HW Clause; Bar Stories

Dan Lust is joined by Landis Barber (@LandisBarber) to help navigate this week's sports law news.  Kyler Murray signed a $230 million extension with the Arizona Cardinals, but it comes with an interesting addendum. (1:33) Murray's contract now includes a clause called the "independent study addendum" which requires Kyler to view game film for at least 4 hours per week during the season. If Kyler fails to comply with this clause then he can forfeit up to $100 million dollars. This also requires that Kyler must not be distracted by anything else, such as TV or videogmaes, while studying film. What do you think, is this a necessary clause? The entire College world is being shaken up between the transfer rule, NIL, and conference realignment. (10:25) Now, the latest news is unionization proposals from Penn State. The College Football Players Association (CFBPA) has sent demands to Kevin Warren, commissioner of the Big Ten, which include a share of conference revenue from media rights. Jeremy Evans (@JeremyMEvansESQ) joins to discuss the California College Sports world shake-up. (19:00) USC and UCLA will be leaving the PAC-12 to join the Big Ten starting in 2024, and this will make the Big Ten TV deals skyrocket with the coast to coast coverage of the conference. The other issue is can UC Regents force UCLA to share their profits with Cal. Does California Governor Gavin Newsom have the power to pull UCLA out of the deal because of their UC affiliation? The PAC-12 has no affiliation with the UC Regents, so Jeremy says no. Jeremy also breaks down the Penn State union proposal. (33:05) Jeremy discusses the Northwestern attempt at this years ago and why he doesn't think this will come to fruition. The NIL era has empowered players to make money and turned College Sports into the wild, wild west, but it might have impacted the possibility of unions down the line. *** Have a topic you want to write about?
