Attorney Leigh Ernst Friestedt will lead a candid conversation with the collegiate athletes she represents in one of the most consequential legal battles in sports history. These athletes have stepped into the legal spotlight to challenge the settlement, arguing that the proposed revenue-sharing models and back-pay distributions directly violate Title IX.
This webinar goes beyond the headlines to understand the high stakes in the House v. NCAA settlement, moving past the balance sheets to explore the human element of collegiate sports. The session focuses on bridging the gap between law and lived experience, offering a unique platform for the athletes themselves to share their stories. You will hear firsthand athlete perspectives on the new NCAA financial landscape and why the approval of the settlement agreement should be overturned.
Together, they will discuss:
- The Future of Equity: How the House settlement could reshape college athletics, altering the path for future generations.
- Title IX & Sustainability: Exploring how past damage and proposed revenue-sharing models conflicts with Title IX protections and the long-term sustainability of women’s—and men’s—collegiate sports.
- Highlight the Human Impact: Given the legal complexity of the settlement, we highlight the personal stories of the athletes involved to show the real-world consequences of these policy changes.
