Education & Sports Law Group Partner Janet Judge joins ADU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2024 Women Leaders Convention to offer insights into the legal challenges facing today’s athletics landscape. Judge and Brown reflect on issues such as the House settlement, Johnson case and related NLRB cases, a recent NCAA study on online harassment and social abuse, and the Title IX implications from all ongoing changes. Judge: “Football [is] quite important. The challenge is keeping the pipeline of Olympic sports, men’s and women’s, and not losing the diversity of sport as we move forward in the current legal landscape.” Judge also discusses the impact of today’s challenges on the way leaders think strategically, develop a team and build out their department: “At the one time where all the legal pressures and social pressures may be leading some people in athletics to become even more insular, it’s absolutely the time where we need to not be insular.”
