Understanding Why College Athletics and Antitrust Law Keep Colliding-Makan Delrahim, former DOJ antitrust attorney
Just prior to his January departure, Makan Delrahim put the finishing touches on the Antitrust Division’s opinion in the Alston v NCAA case and sent it to the Solicitor General. According to the former Department of Justice antitrust lawyer, the NCAA is approaching uncharted territory in antitrust law, and is looking for the Supreme Court and/or Congress to throw them a lifeline.
Makan joined me for a wide-ranging, insightful conversation about the pressure the NCAA is facing in 2021. He is a remarkable teacher, and explains in plain English for senior leaders why the NCAA is running afoul of Federal law. After departing the Department of Justice in January 2021, Makan has been in high demand. I am thrilled that he was able to join me for this important discussion.
