  1. Age Regulations in the NBA and NFL<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As I’ve mentioned before, I think it would be interesting to look into the long term impacts of draft eligibility rules regarding age. More than 10 years after the NBA adopted the “one and done” rule, it would be interesting to take a broad look at the players who left college early and how their careers turned out. The same holds true for football.<\/p>\n

    2. Bilateral Advantage<\/p>\n

    One of the topics I’ve come across while studying for the Paralympics is the idea of “bilateral advantage.” This is the theory that double-amputee athletes, like Oscar Pistorius, have an athletic advantage over single-amputees and able-bodied athletes. I’m hoping to dig deeper into this topic in Rio.<\/p>\n

    3. Athlete Dismissal<\/p>\n

    “Off the field issues” and program dismissals have always been points of contention in college sports. Many coaches and athletic directors have been scrutinized as being too lax on athletes who get into legal trouble or otherwise violate conduct policies. Others are known to dismiss athletes without a second thought. Still, other programs have reputations for taking on athletes with “troubled” pasts at other schools. I’d love to look into this.<\/p>\n

    4. NCAA Regulations and “Likeness”<\/p>\n

    Keeping with my interest in law, the NCAA’s monopoly over college athletes is a hot topic. I would like to look into the NCAA’s policies regarding athletes and both sides of the argument about paying athletes and the use of their likeness. I think this is a good opportunity to look into big-time schools’ compliance programs and notable punishments.<\/p>\n

    5. Title IX in the SEC<\/p>\n

    Our discussion about the equestrian team sparked my interest in how other big football programs, in the SEC and across the country, balance their men’s programs to satisfy Title IX requirements. To me, the idea of such a massive equestrian team to ensure UGA football can continue is a bit crazy but very creative. I’m sure other schools have come up with other solutions and this would be a good opportunity to look into this and revisit the idea of Title IX to see if current athletes believe they are being treated fairly.<\/p>\n

    6. Liability of teams and personnel for injuries<\/p>\n

    One more just for kicks. An important legal debate in sports is the liability of teams and coaches \u2013 let’s say at the college level \u2013 for injuries sustained by players. Hundreds of civil suits have been filed against athletic departments and coaches, as players and their families have alleged negligence that resulted in injury. This begs the question, what are the obligations of a team\/organization\/coaching staff to protect players from injury? This could also be extended to mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
