Alison Silveira and Michael Marino Discuss the Evolving Legal Landscape of College Athletics on the SLA Sport Shorts Podcast

Alison Silveira and Michael Marino were featured guests on the SLA Sport Shorts Podcast, where they discussed the first wave of college athlete revenue-sharing contracts and their potential impact on employment classification. Their conversation focused on the House settlement and the ongoing Johnson litigation, which raises the question of whether college athletes may be considered employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

They explored how universities might structure direct revenue-sharing agreements to avoid triggering employment status for student-athletes, while also addressing Title IX compliance concerns and introducing the SAG-AFTRA model as a potential framework for collective bargaining in college athletics.
