handle is hein.blasports/ansrvds0022 and id is 1 raw text is: SURVEY 2011 ANNUAL SURVEY: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SPORTS LAW INTRODUCTION This survey covers sports-related cases that were decided between January 1 and December 31, 2011. It does not include every sports-related decision. Instead, it includes brief summaries of a wide range of cases that impact the industry so as to provide insight into the growth of the field thus far and to highlight recent sports law developments. To help the reader navigate, the survey is divided into sections based on specific areas of sports law addressed in each case. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW Administrative law concerns the various activities engaged in by federal, state, and local government agencies. These actions include everything from rulemaking to the enforcement of various regulatory schemes. Although administrative law touches on relatively few sports law cases, the following case illustrates administrative law concerns that result directly from the increased media coverage of major sports events. CBS Corp. v. FCCI The petitioner television broadcasting company sought review of orders of the respondent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) imposing a monetary forfeiture under 47 U.S.C.S. § 503(b) for the broadcast of indecent material in violation of 18 U.S.C.S. § 1464 and 47 C.F.R. § 73.3999. The sanctions stemmed from the petitioner's live broadcast of a Super Bowl Halftime Show, which resulted in the exposure of a bare female breast on camera, an act that lasted nine-sixteenths of one second. The petitioner transmitted the image over public airwaves, resulting in punitive action by the FCC. The petitioner challenged the FCC orders on constitutional, statutory, and public policy grounds. 1. 663 F.3d 122 (3d Cir. 2011).
