For those keeping track, the first half of our motion has already been granted, and ILSR is officially an Intervenor in FTC v. Pepsi. Good start!

Defying Supreme Court orders, w/ a complicit Congress, is not just a constitutional crisis. It is a constitutional failure. We're officially in an autocracy. Time to start disciplining lawyers who defy court orders. Revoke licenses and court admissions, deny PHV apps, enforce the rule of law.

What antitrust immunity looks like.

Imagine the NFL doing this with Mahomes and State Farm or the NBA with LeBron and Nike.

I guess college sports tradition is a junior Deloitte accountant deciding how much Buddy Garrity can pay the new tight end for local TV spots.

The courts know this conduct is wrong. The public knows it's wrong. Our audience knew it was wrong.
We won the debate, with 66% voting in our favor, against the Big East commissioner and the head of the National Sports Law Institute.

What the NCAA wants is broad, and it's not limited to antitrust immunity. They want to be excused from the FLSA and Title IX too.

ICYMI: Watch me and Jim Cavale argue, at last week’s AEI Debate, against an antitrust exemption for the NCAA.

🏆The 5th Cir. rejected wholesale Illumina's appeal. Its reading of sec. 7 eschewed overly formalistic "hard metrics" and self-serving promises in favor of common sense and embraced "the purpose of Section 7—'to arrest anticompetitive tendencies in their incipiency.'" Huge win 🏆
