Tulane University Sports Law:
What They’re Saying
Our faculty, staff, students, and alumni, have over the last 30 years built a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities. Below are some observations on the Tulane Sports Law Program from working sports professionals.
Melissa Goldenberg
Phoenix Suns’ General Counsel on the Tulane Sports Law Program:
“So if it is your [] dream to work in a professional sports team as a lawyer, there are a variety of different paths. I think step 1, though, is being in a program like this, right, your resumé is already hands-and-above better than the hundred other students who are applying . . . that is a great start for getting your foot in the door.”
ESPN's Bobby Marks On the TPBNC:
“The Tulane Pro Basketball Negotiation Competition (TPBNC) has transformed into the premier competition of its kind in the country. . .
***
The TPBNC is described as a basketball think tank that brings together college students and basketball professionals. . .
***
And it appears to be at Tulane where future NBA executives are found, and fictional deals get done before the start of free agency.
The Athletic's Mike Vorkunov
“Over the last half-decade, what one attendee called the league’s ‘shadow figures’ have come together just a few miles from the French Quarter for an annual gathering of the NBA’s salary-cap experts for its own convention of sorts. . . The days in New Orleans have become what one NBA executive calls ‘the salary-cap version of [the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference]’
***
As competitors come to Tulane hoping to be noticed, some team executives attend to scout for someone to hire or for a name to notch away for the future. As they do, the Tulane diaspora across the NBA will continue to expand, and a small competition that started just six years ago will have its next problem to solve: What happens when its gets to be too big?”
