Anarchy in America: NCAA and Name Image Likeness
True liberty means enjoying fruits of your labor and maximizing the profit made from your hard work — even student athletes. And for years, student athletes were forbidden from pursuing endorsement offers, even though schools & business are making billions broadcasting their games.
Now, recent state legislation allows student athletes to profit from their fame & notoriety while still maintaining their athletic eligibility. You can be a star female college basketball player — and still get paid for doing some commercials for the local pizza shop. Unfortunately, the patchwork of state legislation & hands off approach by the NCAA has left the legal landscape in chaos. Brian Brunkow will try to clear things up by explaining the rules around Name Image Likeness (NIL), boosters & collectives and the transfer portal. Additional topics in this CLE: the NCAA Interim Policy, NIL activity & impact, the NIL deal process, 3rd parties & booster status, the Quid Pro Quo requirement, fair market value for endorsements, pay for play (PFP), NCAA Hypos and Q&A, undue benefits and notice of transfer “Impact.”

Selecting a Trustee: Ethics, Responsibility and Completion
An estate plan is a set of written, dated and signed documents based on the Probate Code of your state. Every one of us should have an estate plan and establishing a trust is an essential part of planning for your clients.
In this CLE, Marguerite Lorenz will cover some key ethical issues around selecting a trustee, the duties of a Fiduciary and what completion of the trust looks like. Specific topics covered: wills, Power of Attorney for Finance, advance directives (AHCD), the trustor, planning for incapacity & death, the job of the fiduciary, administration, the business of your life, setting up successors for success, digital assets & accounts, model succession plan, who can serve as your fiduciary and how the trustee knows the work is done. Think of this presentation two ways — what you need to know for you and your own family in terms of estate planning (even if you already have an estate plan), and what you need to know to teach your clients how to select the right person(s) for the job of implementing their unique Estate Plan.
