LSU staffer leaving for law school, cites NIL rules and changes to college football
Ed Orgeron is losing an LSU staffer to law school, but it’s not because they have given up on a career in college football. In fact, Keith Sanchez sees an opportunity with big changes coming to the sport.
A personnel analyst, Sanchez told Bruce Feldman that a changing recruiting landscape and expected changes to NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rules has him looking to add some legal knowledge to his resume for future college football jobs.
LSU personnel analyst Keith Sanchez is leaving for law school: “I’ve just realized w/ the landscape of CFB recruiting/personnel & the NIL rules that it was best I go to law school so that way I can be in position and credentialed to be able to properly handle what’s coming next.”

Feldman added that Sanchez is one of the first people he’s heard of making a move to change their approach to working in college football. It will be interesting to see if NIL rules and other changes to college football lead to programs adding legal experts to the football staff.
It will be interesting to see how many folks working with college programs pivot to different approaches (like the one above) as the landscape around the NCAA evolves. @CoachK_LSU is one of the first ppl I’ve talked to at a big program doing so.

Also adding to the need for legal advice: paying players and covering sexual assault scandals.
Meh. Likely interned at Florida prior to coming to LSU… where he studied the likes of Aaron (The F*ck Up) Hernandez, Chris (Time To Die B-tch) Rainey and countless other classy student-athletes there in Gunsvile. LOL!
Exactly lsWHO & Orgeron will need a few lawyers on staff.
Well, just more proof that college football will be killed by the PC politicians pounding a podium and demanding “equity”. When dozens of schools end up canceling sports, or at least football, you’ll have some great equity. Politicians should have done the right thing and told the NFL to quit sucking on the college teat and do what every other sport has done, fund a minor or development league.
That’s nonsense. Politicians have absolutely no right to force the nfl to have a minor league system. That’s way outside of their purview.
Right but only with more detail. Colleges are institutions up to the size of large communities. With large communities of alumni. What these people have in common is a better life through education. Many of them work while attending classes at those institutions.
Professional Sport Franchises certainly have the right to hire prospects who attend college, and at the same time colleges have the right to be amateur in nature and restrict their programs to amateur status. So go pro anytime you choose but don’t think you have the right to take a whole college program with you. Professional franchises also have the right to insist that the people they hire work full-time for that franchise. University students have major, minor, and general education requirements, that’s the nature of a college B.A., B.S. or M.A. and M.S., Phd. etc.. We can and should be able to expect that college graduates to have a bigger education than their major field of study.
This system can’t work well without Minor Professional Leagues. In a Minor League Franchise, players might still continue to take classes but maybe not full time. This is important because nobody is going to be a professional athlete their whole life. The Government needs to stay out of the process of forcing colleges to choose to be professional franchises. It would be the same thing if they said colleges MUST BE professional seed manufactures or professional engineering firms, etc., etc.. The public has expectations of professional players and expectations of amateur players an the two sets of expectations should not be the same.
I tried to understand exactly what you are saying, but failed miserably.
Same here.
I didn’t bother trying. Why post 500 word replies ?
Jesus Christ, it’ll be okay. I promise. No one is coming for your family, gump.
Great. More lawyers in CFB. Just what we need.
Probably should have attended prior to covering up sexual assault..
