Description

We all need a a break from heavy cases like Lindsay Clancy, so this week we're talking about litigation in the sports world, with special guest Mr. NAG. The New York Times was recently found liable for defamation for the first time in 50 years for reporting about a college basketball player. The SEC sued Louisiana State University last week over its attempt to bring players back from the NFL to play college games. Plus, the law firm hired by the NBA to look into violations of the salary cap rules issued its report-and its a how-to manual for violating the rules. We're discussing them all, including which cases we think are just for optics.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden
