Special Guest Jeffrey M. Adams, a Senior Partner at the law firm Abbey, Adams, Byelick and Mueller, LLP discusses the flare-up between the Big 12 conference and ESPN. What legal implications may be involved? We’ll talk about what the American Bar Association refers to as “Wrongful Conduct” in interference with contractual and economic relations. There’s more than meets the eye and why legal counsel for several entities may or may not have their hands full. Is this a case worth pursuing? Many on social media think it’s a foregone conclusion but is it? Adams’ thoughts on the world of college sports may bring many fans to a screeching halt. Life isn’t black and white, it’s many shades of gray. Those agreements, those contracts that you thought were iron-clad may not be as solid as you imagined.

Is college sports as we’ve known it about to get tossed into the trash-bin of history? With the NCAA seemingly folding like a bad lawn chair under the weight of Mark Emmert’s recent comments, the NIL, aggressive moves by the SEC and ESPN moving pieces around the chess board, expect things to get a bit dicey.

Adams paints an interesting picture not only for college football but basketball and all sports as the way we knew things to be become the way things were. There will be changes to all sports with the NIL, realignments must happen and how will Olympic style sports survive if the money should dry up? Can baseball survive on it’s own? How will basketball teams compete when NIL money comes into the full picture?

There are lots of questions, few crystal balls and seemingly fewer leaders with capes these days to lead the way. On the home turf, how will the ACC react to potentially having Clemson poached? Are there mergers on the horizon?

An interesting conversation with Jeff Adams puts an exclamation point on the week. You will want to listen to this episode of ACC Nation Podcast, also available on ACC Nation Radio and YouTube (see link below).
