Panel One: Panel One: The Chevron Shake-Up

For the past 40 years, federal courts have applied the “Chevron Doctrine” to show deference to administrative agencies when interpreting ambiguous statutes that those agencies enforce. However, this year the U.S. Supreme Court will determine two cases that ask the Court to overrule Chevron. This panel will explain these cases and discuss how a changing legal landscape could impact regulated businesses and other organizations.
Moderator: Larry Obhof, Partner, Shumaker
Panelists: Tony Long, General Counsel, Ohio Chamber; Michael Snyder, Partner, Shumaker; and Louis Tosi, Partner, Shumaker

Panel Two: College Athletics in Transition from NIL to Transformation
We will examine the forces and legal issues that are creating change in collegiate athletics—the second largest sports business in the U.S. Featuring a panel of experienced attorneys and accomplished professionals, this session will explore the legal decisions, including O'Bannon v. NCAA, NCAA v. Alston, and Ohio v. NCAA, that are reshaping this field from a range of perspectives. The panel will also discuss the opportunities that this dramatic change has created for corporations and individuals to engage in NIL with college athletes and answer the questions in-house and corporate counsel may have about getting involved the right way.

Panelists: Kevin McGuff, Head Coach, The Ohio State University Women's Basketball Program; Julia Cromer Peoples, Director of Athletics, Ohio University; and Bennett Speyer, Partner, Shumaker

DISCLOSURES
Our programs and events are made possible by the support of our sponsors and partners, and we will share your Name, Company and Email information with the program sponsor(s) for the purpose of allowing them to follow up on the content presented during the program and to provide you with information about their products and services.  If you do not wish to have the Chapter share your information with the program sponsor, you will not be able to register for or attend the program. 

Our law firm-sponsored events are open to CO-ACC members, prospective CO-ACC members, and guests of the sponsoring firm. Membership ineligibility includes attorneys presently working in law firms. ACC membership is open to individuals who are engaged in the active practice of law employed by organizations in either the private or public sector, do not have regulatory, enforcement or policymaking responsibilities nor work in an institution with such authority, and do not hold themselves out to the public for the practice of law.

Impact of No-Shows: No-shows disrupt the program's dynamics, prevent other participants from benefiting fully, and may result in wasted resources. Additionally, they hinder our ability to accurately plan and manage future events. If for any reason you’re unable to attend, we kindly ask that you inform us at least 48 hours in advance. This allows us to adjust our arrangements accordingly and offer your spot to another participant.
