Do you prefer taking chances or making chances? What a lot of people call "luck" often comes down to being prepared for opportunities. When your competitor gets in the same media outlets which turned you down, it's time to ask what they did to be prepared for these opportunities. Here are a few differentiators we regularly see: 1. They are a bigger player in the space. 2. They have positioned themselves as a forward-looking organization. 3. They have made getting in the press a priority, which has built their reputation and credibility with media gatekeepers. 4. They have intentionally built relationships with media outlets. 5. They have intentionally timed their narrative and outreach to the news cycle. Basketball players don't wait for second-chance opportunities; they fight for every rebound. Scientists don't hope for an outcome; they conduct experiments. Getting in the press requires the same preparation, patience, and perspiration. #Preparation #Luck #Competition

I was all set to drop a totally different post today... until the F1 social media came to a halt ! 🏁 On the last day of summer break, Toni Cowan-Brown blew the lid off F1's latest move: cracking down on creators by forcing them to ditch ‘F1’ from their branding. What’s Happening? 🤔 F1 is cracking down on creators, demanding they remove ‘F1’ from their branding. This has caused chaos and confusion. While protecting intellectual property is crucial, is F1 risking alienating the community that drives fan engagement? Why This Matters 🏎️ F1’s aim is to keep its brand elite and avoid unauthorized and *unseemly* associations. While this is common for brands, it might be harming the grassroots support that’s boosted its popularity. What Could Have Been? 🔄 ‣ Engage: with creators to understand their challenges & transform the situation into mutual growth. ‣ Collaborate: F1 should work with creators to set fair guidelines and provide support. ‣ Fair Use: Establish clear rules for brand use without stifling creativity. Let’s turn “killing them with an axe” into “killing them with kindness.” This shift could elevate F1’s brand while strengthening the community that makes the sport so exciting. I’m still piecing together the full picture and would love to hear more from those in the know. If you have insights or references, drop them in the comments! . . . #F1 #ContentCreation #BrandManagement #Marketing #LegalInsights #CreatorSupport #Motorsport 📸: Formula One

Multimedia rights deals in college sports in our post-pandemic world--where NIL, college athletes as employees & conference realignment create uncertainties--makes force majeure clauses crucial. In a new Sportico story, Daniel Libit, Eben Novy-Williams & I review a Learfield clause.

This article from Awful Announcing takes a look at the intersection of #TitleIX and #NIL regulations in college sports media. It explores how these two regulatory frameworks overlap, particularly in terms of institutional compliance, focusing specifically on the requirement for equitable publicity for male and female athletes under Title IX. https://ow.ly/zG4J50SzQUt

Here are our takeaways on recent name, image, and likeness (NIL) developments surrounding the NCAA:

Interesting story in Sportico today discussing how Learfield, one of the largest and oldest college sports multi-media rights companies, is updating its contracts with school partners to attempt to account for dramatic changes (or "diminishing events") that can occur in college sports during a long contract period. From the story and discussing a reworked agreement with the University of Colorado: Included in the agreement, which Sportico obtained through a public records request, are extensive and detailed clauses addressing so-called “diminishing events,” situations that could trigger revisions to the stated terms. In a jam-packed, two-page exhibit, the language covers some of the biggest headline-producing disturbances in college sports of late, including contagions, conference realignment, scheduling changes, potential athlete labor disruptions, NCAA bylaw revisions and the knock-on effects of NIL. “The language in our multimedia rights agreements has evolved as a result of hundreds of renewals, new arrangements and discussions with school partners over the last four years,” Learfield chief legal officer John Raleigh told Sportico in a statement.--- With new players popping up in the space and a host of new MMR opportunities around NIL, it will be fascinating to watch both the business and legal developments in these areas moving forward. #sportslaw #contracts #MMR #NIL #collegesports https://lnkd.in/gDQZsPQV

DO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS MATTER IN SPORTS CASES? As more and more copycat lawsuits get filed, one has to ask how many of them are barred by res judicata, meaning already decided, since they were part of the defined class in possibly multiple class-actions? Also, as much as I'd like to see Reggie Bush succeed with his lawsuit, it obviously is barred by any possible statute of limitations in any state in this Country. I don't know how any lawyer can file such an obviously time-barred complaint. This statute of limitations issue was suspended for the "me too" movement, but only briefly, and whether any state can revive time-barred claims is highly questionable in the first place, whether civil or criminal. But because of the "me too" movement, and the second bite at the apple reprieves that many plaintiffs got, I think we all just shrug our shoulders, because it literally isn't our problem. But this question must gnaw at the lawyer crowd, as it does with me. Even so, if RB is able to squeeze by, I'd be very happy for him. https://lnkd.in/eBTeaDaB
