The growth of sports in South Florida, collegiate licensing and UFC
A little late, but in case you’re interested, Nova Southeastern University will examine “The Growth of the South Florida Sports Market” at its first Sports Law Symposium on Saturday.
The symposium, being co-sponsored by the Florida Bar’s Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law Section, will also include panel discussions on licensing in college athletics – including whether college athletes should benefit from royalties colleges receive from athlete names and likenesses; the Florida State Boxing Commission’s decision to grant licenses for Ultimate Fighting Championship; and what can be done to promote athletes who aren’t first round draft picks.
The symposium runs from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at NSU’s Shepard Broad Law Center, 3305 College Ave., Davie. Regilstration runs from $15 in advance and $20 at the door for NSU law students to $30 in advance and $40 at the door for general admission.
