About SportsWise: A Podcast About Sports and the Law
Hosted by Gabe Feldman--Director of the Tulane Sports Law Program, NFL Network Legal Analyst, and sports industry consultant, this podcast will look at current and breaking stories in the sports world and tell the largely untold (and often misunderstood) legal story behind the headlines. It will also explore significant sports stories and lawsuits that have been overlooked or forgotten. The goal of the podcast is to help people understand why and how each of these stories and cases have had such a big impact on the sports world and beyond. Who is the podcast for? Three audiences: 1) Sports fans who want to understand more about sports. There is a basic fact that gets overlooked by many sports fans: Most of the rules in sports—from salary caps to free agency restrictions to television deals to franchise relocation requirements to NCAA amateurism rules— are the way they are because of the law, and not simply because teams, leagues, or players want them that way. This podcast will help you become a better and more educated sports fan.2) People who may or may not like sports but who want to explore the idea of sports as a mirror of society. This podcast will help us see sports tell us about bigger social, financial and political issues. For example, what can return to play issues for college and pro sports tell us about how we value the health and safety of our students, the role of athletics in education, economic and civil rights, and the role of sports in society generally. 3) My mom. Because she likes to hear me talk.Enjoy...

Episode 121: The First Small Step Towards Unionizing College Football Players? With Jason Stahl, Founder of the College Football Players Assocation
Published 28 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So this happens a mere three months after I found the Players Association. And of course, then you have to take that into account for how you're thinking about what you're doing. We have always thought of ourselves as a fraternity, as a way that past, present, and future football players can come together together. and form a new type of community that is outside of the traditional structure of their school, right? They'll have a school-based chapter, of course, but then they'll have a national organization to plug into. And they can get, we believe, a lot of good from this as we develop over time, independent of what happens with a union or unionization. […]
