Bond’s collegiate sports practice is an industry leader, representing over 200 clients in traditional NCAA regulatory matters; the implementation of House v. NCAA Settlement terms and its related enforcement, resolution and arbitration processes; and the proactive development of systems needed to comply with new rules and frameworks relating to roster limits and student-athlete name, image and likeness (NIL). Bond’s team can also negotiate collegiate multimedia, coaching and athletic administrator employment contracts.
Bond attorneys also regularly assist colleges in conducting athletic program reviews to ensure compliance with Title IX equity issues between women’s and men’s sports and represent institutions in Office for Civil Rights investigations into the same. One member of our team successfully represented a Big Ten university during an eight-year-long gender equity compliance review of its entire athletics program. Bond attorneys have managed the collection and review of information from major athletics programs, including facilities, budgets, publicity materials, enrollment information and team eligibility lists, to assess and advise on compliance concerns.
