Although the Red Elephants’ 2025 campaign ended in disappointment after falling short in the title game, they took a fascinating, peculiar, and often dominant  path to get there, and potentially set some significant precedents along the way.   Gai

NIL Moves from Compensation to Litigation: NIL has yet to stop surprising the legal world. Within the first weeks of 2026, it has transformed from a mechanism for athlete compensation into a litigation strategy, with universities suing their own quarterbacks over alleged NIL contract breaches tied to transfer decisions. What started with Washington’s Demond Williams and has escalated into Duke’s lawsuit against Darian Mensah creates a new reality: NIL contracts are no longer

The Demond Williams Jr. transfer saga lasted barely 48 hours, yet it managed to encapsulate nearly every unresolved tension in modern college sports: NIL, revenue sharing, transfer rights, contract enforceability, the amateur/employee distinction, antitrust risk, and, most importantly, the human reality of a young athlete trying to make a career-defining decision in a system that still hasn’t decided what it wants him to be.   Earlier this week, Williams announced via Instag

JuJu Watkins is a talented basketball player for the University of Southern Carolina Trojans. She had a standout freshman year scoring over 900 points and receiving several accolades, including the AP Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team All-American.

The demand for digital content—whether on social media or streaming platforms—combined with the name, image, and likeness (NIL) era, where athletes actively monetize their personal brands, is reshaping how sports content is created and distributed.   Last year, women’s basketball star JuJu Watkins partnered with UNINTERRUPTED, 4.4 Forty Media, and State Farm to produce On the Rise: JuJu Watkins , a six-part documentary giving viewers a behind the scenes look of her rise to st

When NASCAR teams filed sweeping antitrust lawsuits in 2024, led by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, with support from the Race Team Alliance (RTA), they didn’t just challenge a sport’s business model. They put the entire franchise league power dynamic on trial. At stake is control over the economic engine of stock-car racing: the teams that build and race the cars, or the sanctioning body that owns the brand, the schedule, and the broadcast rights.

Williams claimed  that his manager was the one who packed his
