I spent the past week teaching #NIL to students at the University of Miami School of Law.

It was the 3rd year I taught the class and it was by far the best experience to date.

We reviewed the history of NIL rights, discussed the impact that NIL collectives have had on the industry, went through agent representation issues, reviewed template revenue-share, collective, and brand contracts, and finished with an exercise in which students negotiated hypothetical brand deals between athletes and companies.

I have never felt so good about the future of the legal profession, particularly regarding those who will soon be practicing in the sports and entertainment industries. This group of students was so impressive, and I can't stop kvelling when I consider the tremendous job Greg Levy has done to build Miami's program into the best in the country. 

Thanks to those who helped with excellent insight during the week, including Corey Staniscia, Zach Burr, Jonathan Gombinski, Jason Rosenhaus, Shawn O'Dare, Conner Salter, Michael McCann, Darren Rovell, Michael Raymond, Trey Mourning, Aryan Rashed, Chase Garrett, and Ava Carney.
