Fantasy Sports Get Seat at Harvard Law Table
The Harvard Law School spring sports symposium is less than a month away, and one of the three panel discussions on the docket includes fantasy as a central theme.
At 10:30 a.m. March 14 — the event’s second day — the New Media panel will convene to “cover how sports leagues and teams exploit new media and fantasy sports to generate revenues.”
The panelists include Bob Bowman, president and CEO of MLB Advanced Media; Mike Mellis, senior vice president and general counsel for MLBAM; Bryan Perez, senior vice president and general manager for NBA Digital; Michael Zarren, assistant executive director of basketball operations/associate counsel for the Boston Celtics; and Frank Hawkins, a partner at Scalar Media.
The discussion will be moderated by Rick Karcher, law professor and director of the Center for Law and Sports at Florida Coastal School of Law. FSB.com has contacted Karcher to find out more about the planned discussion, and we’ll pass along whatever we learn.
The symposium is free to attend but space is limited. The event begins on Friday, March 13.
