                  Introduction to Special Issue:
                Legal Issues in College Athletics


                Thomas   A. Baker,  III and  Natasha   Brison

Our deepest appreciation goes out to Barbara Osborne, JD, and Anita M. Moorman,
JD, for serving as guest editors for this special issue of the Journal ofLegal Aspects
ofSport (JLAS). Osborne (professor in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science
at the University of North Carolina) and Moorman  (professor in the Department
of Health & Sport Sciences at the University of Louisville) spent countless hours
soliciting, reviewing, and editing submissions for this special issue on legal issues in
college athletics.
    There are currently myriad legal issues within intercollegiate athletics and this
special issue reflects a broad range of timely topics. With the 50th anniversary of
Title IX in 2022 in mind, David A. McArdle and Sylvia de Mars tackle a subject that
is often overlooked in their article, Your Body Is a Battleground: Law, Regulation,
and Pregnancy  Discrimination in United States College Sports. Next, John Grady
examines  recent litigation that could have major financial ramifications for univer-
sities relative to trademark in Testing the Bounds of Universities' Merchandising
Rights in Light of Penn State v. Vintage Brand.
    As name, image, and likeness (NIL) dominates much of the legal news within the
sporting world, Anita M. Moorman and Adam  R. Cocco explore the rapidly evolving
legal issues surrounding NIL in their article, College Athlete NIL Activities and
Institutional Agreements at a Crossroads: An Analysis of the Regulatory Landscape
and 'Conflict Language' in State NIL Legislation. Finally, given the recent tragic
mass shootings on college campuses, Jeffrey Curto, Andrew Goldsmith, John Miller,
Michael S. Carroll, and Christina Martin present a timely piece on campus leaders'
perceptions of being prepared for an active shooter situation during a college football
game  in Active Shooter Preparedness: Perceptions of NCAA Division I Athletic
Directors and Campus Police Chiefs.
