Sports law covers many different areas of the law that
involve both amateur and professional sports. For the NCAA, much of the litigation relating
to student athletes has to do with Title XI, a law about gender equality for
college sports. Also as part of amateur
sports law would be lawsuits relating to the Olympic Games, including doping incidents. When it comes to professional sports, many
times sports law involves labor law when it comes to negotiations between team
owners and players when coming up with collective bargaining agreements. Finally, sports law may also deal with
contracts for individual players, assuming that the contract is negotiated with
licensed agents.
