College athletics looks nothing like it did a few years ago.

NIL agreements, compliance rules, employment questions, Title IX—higher ed professionals are being asked to make big decisions in a landscape that keeps shifting under their feet.

At the 2026 Legal Issues in Higher Education Conference, we're unpacking the legal and practical frameworks reshaping college athletics—so you can lead with confidence, not catch up later.

"The only constant in college athletics today is change. As the legal and regulatory environment continues to evolve, higher education professionals must navigate complex questions at the intersection of athletics, academics, compliance, employment, and student success. Understanding legal implications during this time of unprecedented transformation is not optional—it is essential to effective leadership and institutional success."
āž£ Jennifer Papillo, Associate General Counsel at the University of Vermont

You'll dig into the practical and legal frameworks reshaping college athletics, connect with peers facing the same questions, and walk away ready to lead with confidence.
