Rivals United: Session #2

Rivals United - NIL, Governance, and the Future of College Sports Regulation

In a first of its kind, UCLA School of Law and USC Gould School of Law are co-hosting a series of legal executive education webinars. Our four-part virtual series unites leading faculty and industry experts to explore the legal, business, and leadership challenges shaping the future of sports and entertainment.

NIL, Governance, and the Future of College Sports Regulation

This session will explore how Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policies are reshaping the governance structure of college athletics and challenging traditional regulatory frameworks. Panelists will examine emerging legal, legislative, and institutional responses—including the evolving role of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and potential federal oversight. The discussion will focus on what these developments mean for the future regulation, competitive balance, and integrity of collegiate sports.

Join Attorney and NIL Policy Advocate Cody McDavis, USC Gould School of Law Professor Jeff Schneider, and UCLA Football Alum Chase Griffin for an immersive discussion.

Rivals United: Session #3

Rivals United - Are We Ready to Let AI Handle Judgment?

Are We Ready to Let AI Handle Judgment?

AI can score a gymnastics routine with near-perfect accuracy and track a figure skater’s rotations in real time. Why are we hesitant to give up control in areas like law and medicine? This session argues that AI is forcing us to separate lines we've always blurred: pattern recognition and judgment. Looking at law, medicine, immigration, and other high-stakes fields, panelists will discuss where AI should take the lead, where human judgment remains essential, and where the boundary between the two is less clear than we think.

Join UCLA School of Law Professor Alex Alben, USC Alum Dorna Moini, and UnitedLex VP of AI and Product Innovation Beverly Rich for an immersive discussion.

Trending Employment Law Topics in the Olympics

It also explores labor and workplace issues connected to hosting the Games, including working conditions for construction, event, and support staff. 

Join UCLA School of Law Professor Ireneo A. Reus III, USC Gould School of Law Professor Jibit Cinar, and more for an immersive discussion.
