Morgan Lewis, Villanova Law to Explore Emerging Trends in Sports Finance at 2025 Moorad Symposium

As the recent surge of institutional capital and private equity (PE) funding continues to reshape the sports finance landscape, panelists at the 2025 Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal Symposium at Villanova will discuss the evolving methods of investing in sports as an asset class in a half-day program, Investing in Sports: The Future of Sports Financing, on April 11.

Morgan Lewis partner and chair of the firm’s global sports industry team Jeff Moorad will lead a discussion examining how the sports investment industry has changed with the rise of PE and the challenges in negotiating, drafting, and structuring sports investments in this new era. Partner Andrew White, alongside league and team executives, will analyze the ways in which leagues and teams are funding the sports asset class and how these efforts are evolving as team valuations continue to rise. The event will conclude with a panel addressing the forthcoming House v. NCAA settlement and how it will transform the financial landscape of college sports.

Tickets for the in-person symposium are available through the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law. Pennsylvania CLE credits are available upon registration.
