Steeped in the core values and culture of higher education, our Sports group is uniquely situated to serve the diverse needs of collegiate athletics departments. Our attorneys have vast, practical experience advising colleges and universities on Title IX compliance, both with respect to gender equity and sexual misconduct, and representing institutions at every stage of the process, including internal audits, government investigations, and litigation. We conduct investigations into an ever-expanding range of potentially high-profile allegations, including alleged infractions of NCAA rules and misconduct by coaches and student-athletes, and we represent universities before the NCAA Committee on Infractions, NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee and Collegiate Sports Commission. We also advise college and university clients on compliance with the growing number of NCAA and NAIA rules and guide institutions through increasingly complex regulations governing collegiate sports.
