INTRODUCTION America is in the midst of a “fantasy sports revolution” that is chang- ing the way sports fans interact with one another.2 With more than 30 million Americans playing fantasy sports,3 today’s sports fans spend as much time predicting the performance of professional athletes as Wall Street in- vestors spend predicting stocks and bonds.4 Some fantasy sports contests, such as the World Championship of Fan- tasy Football, charge participants entry fees in the thousands of dollars, and offer grand prizes upwards of $300,000.5 Meanwhile, other business ven- tures, such as Bloomberg Sports, sell fantasy participants “analytical tools” and “expert advice.”6 One insurance carrier, Fantasy Sports Insurance, has even begun to offer fantasy participants insurance policies against injury to their star fantasy players.7 Nevertheless, with the rapid and unexpected emergence of fantasy sports, few have devoted time to understanding

LOSING COLLEGIATE ELIGIBILITY: HOW MIKE WILLIAMS & MAURICE CLARETT LOST THEIR CHANCE TO PERFORM ON COLLEGE ATHLETICS' BIGGEST STAGE Michael R. Lombardo* INTRODUCTION In the fall of 2002 Maurice Clarett was on top of the world. His team, the Ohio State Buckeyes, had just completed a remarkable season in which they dominated college football. They finished the season a perfect 14-0, winning the Big Ten Conference Championship and the National Championship. In the Fiesta Bowl, the Buckeyes were matched up against the undefeated Miami Hurricanes, who had not lost a game since September of 2000.' The Buckeyes were twelve-point underdogs at kickoff and the experts did not give them much of a chance at winning.2 However, behind the remarkable effort of their star freshman tailback, Ohio State shocked the Miami Hurricanes and the college football world with a 31-24 victory.

  • Hedging Your Bets: Is Fantasy Sports Betting Insurance Really ‘Insurance’?
    HEDGING YOUR BETS: IS FANTASY SPORTS BETTING INSURANCE REALLY ‘INSURANCE’? Haley A. Hinton* I. INTRODUCTION Sports betting is an animal of both the past and the future: it goes through the ebbs and flows of federal and state regulations and provides both positive and negative repercussions to society. While opponents note the adverse effects of sports betting on the integrity of professional and collegiate sporting events and gambling habits, proponents point to massive public interest, the benefits to state economies, and the embracement among many professional sports leagues. Fantasy sports gaming has engaged people from all walks of life and created its own culture and industry by allowing participants to manage their own fictional professional teams from home. Sports betting insurance—particularly fantasy sports insurance which protects participants in the event of a fantasy athlete’s injury—has prompted a new question in insurance law: is fantasy sports insurance really “insurance?” This question is especially prevalent in Connecticut—a state that has contemplated legalizing sports betting and recognizes the carve out for legalized fantasy sports games. Because fantasy sports insurance—such as the coverage underwritten by Fantasy Player Protect and Rotosurance—satisfy the elements of insurance, fantasy sports insurance must be regulated accordingly. In addition, the Connecticut legislature must take an active role in considering what it means for fantasy participants to “hedge their bets:” carefully balancing public policy with potential economic benefits. * B.A. Political Science and Law, Science, and Technology in the Accelerated Program in Law, University of Connecticut (CT) (2019).

    Gopher Basketball 2008-09 Coaching Staff [ 71 ] Minnesota Basketball 2008-09 Gopher Basketball 2008-09 Head Coach Tubby Smith TUBBY SMITH Head Coach n March 23, 2007 Tubby Smith was announced as the 16th head bas - ketball coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers Men’s Basketball pro - gram. One of the most respected coaches in the country and a nation - O al champion was coming to Gold Country to lead the Gopher program. The excitement of bringing one of the top coaches in the country to the University of Minnesota was only matched by the satisfaction of welcoming one of the classiest individuals in the world of college basketball today to the Maroon and Gold. In his first season at the “U”, Smith took a team that had won nine games the season before to a 20-14 record. The Gophers finished sixth in the Big Ten Conference at 8-10 and were the sixth seed in the Big Ten Tournament. The 11-game improvement in the win column from the 2006-07 season is the largest season turn - around in school history and tied for the second-best turnaround in Division I in 2007-08. Also, the five-win improvement in conference play was the second biggest Big Ten turnaround in 2007-08. Smith came to Minnesota with a reputation for winning at the highest level not matched by many coaches in the country. In his 17-year career, he has claimed a National Title (Kentucky in 1997-98), made four “Elite Eight appearances”, nine “Sweet Sixteen” appearances, posted 15 straight 20-win seasons and has the 12th-best active winning percentage of any coach at the Division I level with a 407-159 record (.719).

  • DUQUESNE and the NBA Duquesne University Has Had a Total of 33 Players Drafted, with 20 Dukes Having Seen Action in an NBA Game
    DUQUESNE AND THE NBA Duquesne University has had a total of 33 players drafted, with 20 Dukes having seen action in an NBA game. Chuck Cooper became the first Duquesne player – and first Black player – drafted in the history of the National Basketball Association when he was chosen in the second round of the 1950 draft. Legend has it that when Celtics owner Walter Brown matter-of-factly announced, “Boston takes Charles Cooper of Duquesne,” a fellow owner responded, “Walter, don’t you know he’s a colored boy?” “I don’t give a damn if he’s striped or plaid or polka-dot,” Brown said. “Boston takes Charles Cooper of Duquesne!” The first DU players to see action in the NBA were Moe Becker, Ed Melvin and Walt Miller who all debuted in 1946 with the Pittsburgh Ironmen (Becker also played for the Boston Celtics and Detroit Falcons that season). Duquesne has had three first round picks in Dick Ricketts (1955), Si Green (1956) and Norm Nixon (1977). Ricketts and Green were both the first players selected in the draft, making Duquesne the only school in NCAA history to have the back-to-back first picks in the NBA Draft. Few remember that Green was selected ahead of San Francisco’s Bill Russell in ‘56. DU is currently represented in the NBA by guard Mike James. James, who played for the Dukes from 1995-98, originally signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat in 2001. He was then waived by Miami and signed with Boston in July of 2003 where he received his first regular playing time.

  • Warren RABB by Jeff Miller
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 7 (2006) Bonus Issue Warren RABB By Jeff Miller The Buffalo Bills were entering their second year of their existence in 1961. The Bills' inaugural season of 1960 had been plagued by inefficiency at quarterback, with veteran Tommy O'Connell alternating playing time along with Johnny Green and the team's first-ever number one draft choice, "Riverboat" Richie Lucas of Penn State. The result? A less-thanstellar 5-8-1 record and a third-place finish in the AFL's Eastern Division. When the Bills opened training camp '61, Green was penciled in as the starter. But mid-way through camp, Green sustained a shoulder injury that forced the recently retired O'Connell back into action. Feeling somewhat insecure about their quarterback situation, the Bills' brought in an NFL castoff named Warren Rabb to bolster the depth chart. Rabb was a two-year starter at Louisiana State, and led the Tigers to an 11-0 record and the Southwestern Conference Title in 1958. LSU faced Clemson in the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1959, and, playing part of the game with a broken handed, Rabb led the Tigers to a 7 to 0 victory and the National Championship. "I was running down the sideline and had the ball," Rabb recalls of the play in which he was injured. "The guy put his helmet right on the football when he tackled me, and 1 broke my hand pretty bad. 1 came out of the game and told the coach. 1 said, 'Coach, 1 think my hand's broken.' He looked at it and said, 'Aw, it's alright.' So we got back in the game, and we had an opportunity to try a field goal-35 yards or something like that.
