Please elaborate

I am sure it is fine. Not everyone is smart enough to get into the Paul M. Hebert Law Center.

Or better yet…the Southern Law Center a few miles up river.

All jokes aside about Southern, but legally speaking all he has to do to be set in life is to build up some local street legal cred and wait for an open judicial seat to open, and hop on the life of living off the government by running for a local judgeship.

If he is really lucky, you could get a presidential appointment and make it to the federal bench and have a lifetime appointment as judge.

Tulane's Sports Law program was one of the first in the nation with that focus.

When Tulane Law School first offered a sports law certificate in 1993, many did not understand why any law school would bother.

“No one even knew what it was,” said sports law icon Professor Gary Roberts, who launched Tulane’s Sports Law Program and is the former Dean of the Indiana University Robert McKinney School of Law and former President of Bradley University. “‘There are no jobs in it’, the faculty would say to me. Or, ‘there is no such thing as sports law.’”

Roberts, by then a tenured professor at Tulane, was teaching one or two sports law classes each year mainly because he enjoyed it. What he saw, and how he ultimately crafted his winning pitch to then-law Dean John Kramer and the faculty, was that “sports law was a way to teach contracts, civil procedure, antitrust, labor law and intellectual property law, evidence, even criminal law.”

It worked, and Tulane became the first law school in the country to offer a specialized certificate in sports law.

Since then, the Program has attracted hundreds of students and is now led Professor Gabe Feldman, the Sher Garner Professor of Sports Law and Paul and Abram B. Barron Professor of Law — who succeeded Roberts as program Director in 2007— with the assistance of Sports Law Program Manager Eric Blevins. It has produced such sports law luminaries as:

Mike Tannenbaum (L ’95), former General Manager of the New York Jets and Executive Vice President of the Miami Dolphins and now a Front Office Insider with ESPN;

Demeka Fields (L’16), Counsel—Global Sports Marketing for New Balance;

Nina King (L ’05), the first Black woman to become Athletic Director at Duke University and one of only a handful across the nation;

Marc Reeves (B'00, L ’00), formerly Head of Brand/Football at Nike and now Head of Global Strategic Partnerships with Fever and an investor/advisor at many sports properties including Leeds United;

Jennifer Lewis (L ’98), General Counsel for the Los Angeles Clippers; and

Aileen Dagrosa (L ’04) General Counsel for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Damn. A whole six "luminaries" since 1993.

If the child is getting into higher ranked schools there is a high likelihood that Tulane is not even as left wing as the other schools. Yale, Columbia, Cal Berkley and NYU make Tulane look like a breeding ground for the Heritage Foundation.

To the OP, I’d strongly consider UCLA if the child is intent on sports or entertainment law. But the best advice is

Go to the highest ranked school that will be the cheapest after scholarships. Do not go into 200K+ in debt for a JD.

I almost made that mistake going to UVA, thank goodness I wised up, that kind of debt is crushing
