This blog is managed and written by college professors in the fields of sports law and business. Rather than just compiling and curating content from the web (which they do), most of the content on this blog is original written material pertaining to current and historical events and issues related to sports law. Recent post topics included the George Brett Pine Tar Bat incident from 1983 and Curt Flood's legacy, plus coverage of current topics like the Roger Clemens trial, the NFL labor dispute and the Dodgers' financial woes.
An intriguing recent piece looked at the tax consequences for the fan who caught Derek Jeter's historic home run ball:
I suggest there are other results possible. Among these other results, it could be asserted that the ball constituted an accession to wealth (i.e., gross income) to Lopez, to the extent of its fair market value. Lopez’s subsequent transfer of the ball to Jeter, coupled with his receipt of items from the Yankees, could be construed as a sale to the Yankees, perhaps at a loss. As the ball did not belong to Jeter prior to the hit, Jeter’s receipt of the ball from Lopez could be seen as compensation from the Yankees, which allowed the ball to pass to Jeter.■ FindLaw Sports
