WVU Law Symposium on Race and Labor in 21st Century Sports Law

Reversingfieldbmp_2 Michael McCann (Miss. College Law) provides information on the Sports Law Blog on the WVU Law Symposium on Race and Labor in 21st Century Sports Law, which is scheduled for October 4th and 5th.

Mike writes:

On October 4th and 5th, the West Virginia University College of Law will host a symposium entitled "Reversing Field:  Examining Issues of Commercialization, Race and Labor in 21st Century Sports Law.”  I am honored to be speaking at this event, which is spearheaded by Sports Law Blog contributor and WVU law professor andre` douglas pond cummings and also includes blog contributors Joe Rosen and Andre Smith.

The symposium's sponsors--the WVU Law Sports and Entertainment Law Society, the Office of the President of WVU, and the WVU School of Physical Education--have assembled a terrific group of academics and practitioners to debate key issues related to the intersection of race and labor law in sports: commercialization of intercollegiate athletics, race issues in collegiate and professional sports, drug testing, gender equity, and economic weapons.

Sounds like a great conference.  You can get more information from Stacey Evans, who is President of the WVU Sports and Entertainment Law Society.
