Sports law covers many different areas of the law that involve both amateur and professional sports. For the NCAA, much of the litigation relating to student athletes has to do with Title XI, a law about gender equality for college sports. Also as part of amateur sports law would be lawsuits relating to the Olympic Games, including doping incidents. When it comes to professional sports, many times sports law involves labor law when it comes to negotiations between team owners and players when coming up with collective bargaining agreements. Finally, sports law may also deal with contracts for individual players, assuming that the contract is negotiated with licensed agents.
