On behalf of CIPR and IPA, thank you to Profs. Kevin Brown, Don Knebel, and Shana Wallace and IU Women's Basketball coach Ashley Williams for a wonderful panel discussion on NCAA antitrust & NIL licensing issues for collegiate athletes.

Great to hear new work on the PTAB from 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐡 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐮𝐛𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐭 at yesterday’s IP Colloquium here at Maurer. Interesting discussion; great questions from the students.

Had a great time interviewing the exceptional @IUCoachAsh, IU Women's BB, to get a coach's perspective on the NIL issue, for last night's program at the Plager IP Inn of Court. All of the IP lawyers in Indy now want to go back to school to play ball for @IUCoachAsh. #iuwbb
