FTC v. Commanders; 18 Other Watson Masseuses; and $120M Oregon Ducks Football Trial

Dan Lust, Mike and Tarun dive into this week in sports law. The Washington Commanders continue to be under fire for their cooking the books allegations. (6:39) The FTC has now been brought in to investigate, and there are more allegations that fans' season ticket deposits were also being kept illegally. Deshaun Watson's civil cases are moving forward with discovery. (19:33)  The scheduling order has come out that no trial shall be scheduled from August 1, 2022 through March 1, 2023 (vis-à-vis the NFL season). There has also been a discovery ruling that Deshaun Watson must disclose his relationships with the 18 masseuses who testified in his favor. The lawsuit against the NCAA and Oregon trial began this week. (29:44) Doug Brenner, a former OL with Oregon football has brought suit against the NCAA, Oregon, and former Oregaon head coach Willie Taggart for $120 million dollars in combined pain and suffering and punitive damages. The allegations stemmed from the 2017 season in which the players pre-season strength and conditioning sessions were physical punishment and caused a number of health issues for players.
