Agenda:
-How Brands are Approaching the New World of Student-Athlete Name/Image/Likeness Rights

-How Teams, Leagues, and Other Sports Organizations Can Offer Social / Fan Tokens
-Teams, leagues, and other sports organizations can offer social or fan tokens for use with giveaways, discounts, products in arenas, and other promotions, but what legal issues should those entities consider when issuing such tokens?
-What Rights Issues are of Concern When Sports Entities or Athletes Offer NFTs?
-Not only must the rights in the NFT be addressed, so do the underlying rights being captured.
-Considerations for Athletes and Sports Organizations Entering the Entertainment Industry
-What should athletes or sports organizations take into consideration when starting production companies or investing in film projects?
