This week on the legal-affairs podcast Lawyer2Lawyer, we consider the class-action lawsuit filed by college football and basketball players against EA Sports and the NCAA. The lawsuit claims that electronic games unlawfully appropriate the likenesses of these student athletes.
Our guests to discuss this issue are Peter Goplerud, dean and professor of law at Florida Coastal School of Law, who is widely recognized for his expertise in the field of sports law, and Clay Travis, an attorney and sports writer who formerly was editor at Deadspin.com and now writes for FanHouse.com.
You can listen to the show at the Legal Talk Network or download the MP3 file.

Sports law is a special type of law that blends together various key areas of law such as contract negotiation, settlement and enforcement, antitrust law and tort law.Contract law applies most of the times in the field of professional sports. It dictates the terms of the relationship between the professional sports athlete and the team owner or manager.Find out more about this topic on http://sportsattorney.com.
While I believe college athletes are being compensated for their work on the field by receiving scholarships, someone else is making a ton of money from TV and video-game rights.
I don't know if the answer is a stipend or setting up trust accounts for the players to access once their eligibility is up.
