Power 5 Grant of Rights Contracts: The Prisoner's Dilemma Revisited
Mark Wilhelm, a corporate transactions attorney with Troutman Pepper, joined The BigAmateurism Monologues podcast to speak with host Richard Ford. This episode analyzes grant of rights contracts through a framework offered in a 2017 law journal article titled " Irrevocable but Unenforceable? Collegiate Athletic Conferences' Grant of Rights" written by Mark Wilhelm and published in the Harvard Law School Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law.
The article received national attention after Andy Staples of The Athletic wrote about it earlier this month. In the journal article, Mark discusses the factors schools may choose to weigh in decisions regarding a potential switch in conference affiliation. His analysis also addresses the enforceability of grant of rights contracts.
