Former NCAA Coach and Renowned Sports Attorney Imparts Valuable Insights at Prominent Legal Conference

(July 4, 2023) - At last week's State Bar of Texas's Annual Conference held in Austin, Texas,  Managing Attorney of Masterly Legal Solutions, Andrew Rhoden, a respected sports law attorney and former NCAA Division I college football coach, emerged as a leading figure during a high-profile college athletics panel. Alongside Rhoden, the panel featured Dr. Mark James, a retired college head football coach; and Stephen Foster, an accomplished ESPN Radio host. The event was hosted by the Texas Entertainment and Sports Law Section of the State Bar of Texas.

The conference drew thousands of attorneys and educators from across the state and around the country. Rhoden captivated the audience with his profound insights on critical issues within college athletics, leveraging his extensive experience in sports and legal affairs to provide a deep dive into the practices and importance of internal investigations within athletic departments.

Rhoden initiated a compelling discussion on the extensive implications of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) laws on high schools, women, and universities. He also provided a nuanced view of the complexities of Title IX compliance, a topic of paramount importance for all institutions engaged in collegiate sports.

Switching focus to the media's influence on college athletics, Rhoden examined the transformative role of conference realignments and the subsequent formation of super conferences, such as the Big 10 and Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Rhoden's contribution to the panel highlighted his commitment to disseminating his deep knowledge of sports law, furthering understanding in this complex and rapidly changing field.
