“…While a significant number of authors from these types of institutions would be expected to some degree due to tenure and promotion requirements typically associated with them, it is notable that more than 75% of the authors were published in the Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport. This result may lend credence to a previous study that identified JLAS as the most highly ranked sport law journal within the field of sport management (Batista & Pittman, 2006). Thus, authors from more research intensive universities may be more inclined to submit studies to JLAS due to its reputation in the field.…”

“…Interestingly, the legal issue addressed in these publications mirrored the results of previous studies regarding the topics covered in legal aspects courses. Cotten (1991) as well as Batista and Pittman (2006) found that negligence was the primary content area that faculty spent the most time teaching in class. Batista and Pittman (2006) as well as Young (2001) also reported that a majority of faculty taught risk management in legal issues classes.…”

“…Thus, it appears that the legal research studies significantly relate to the topics that are most often taught in the classroom. While NCAA legal issues and gender discrimination were identified as primary content areas of publication in JLAS, Cotten (1991), Batista and Pittman (2006), nor Young (2001) identified either as main teaching areas. However, this may change if a future analysis of legal topics being taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels is conducted.…”

As the flagship journal of the Sport and Recreation Law Association, the Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport (JLAS) serves “…as an interdisciplinary outlet for legal issues in the sport, recreation, and related fields to meet the needs of researchers, academicians, practitioners, and policymakers” (About JLAS, para. 2). A study by Batista and Pittman (2006) identified JLAS as the most highly ranked sport law journal among journals focusing on sport management. Articles appearing in the Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport have informed court decisions and case outcomes, policy decisions and debate on limited liability legislation, health and safety issues, and universal access to sport opportunities (Spengler & Miller, 2014). Additionally, JLAS articles have been cited in journals published in a variety of countries including India, China, Australia, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Spain (Spengler & Miller, 2014). These inclusions indicate that the Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport has had some degree of success in attaining international recognition and appeal. Although JLAS has been published since 1992, a complete formal analysis of the content has never been conducted. A content analysis of JLAS may provide critical information regarding the diversity of topics covered, the specific research types utilized, demographic information regarding the authors published, and perhaps identify any gaps that may exist in the current literature base. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to conduct a content analysis of articles published in the Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport (JLAS) from 1992-2016.

Each year, the college football season ends with hiring and firing moves. These transitions raise questions about the million-dollar salaries prevalent in college sports. Current events like this tend to dominate classroom conversations. Navigating these issues and their relation to class content can be challenging. Although the amount of money spent on coaches is not surprising, any discussion to provide new strategies may not be legally viable. For example, when students propose ideas about limiting coaching salaries, they may not realize the legal implication of that action. This case study uses the legal case-study model to address questions related to intercollegiate athletic coaching salaries and the possibility of a salary cap. Providing legal application in other courses will address these questions for both students and for faculty members who might not have the legal background to answer these questions.
