S2647 The Fall of the NCAA, the Rise of Athlete Rights - And What's Next
Class | Registration opens Monday, March 16, 2026 10:00 AM EDT
This engaging session explores the history of college athletics, the rise and fall of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) oversight, and the growing rights of student athletes. From the early days of U-M and Big Ten football to today’s debates over Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) and the NCAA vs. House settlement, the class examines key moments, scandals, and mysteries that shaped the system. Through stories and analysis, Dooley shows how today’s challenges reflect long-standing themes in college sports—proving that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
