On today’s show I sat down with Kelleigh Fagan and David Holt from CCHA, a law firm with a 145-year history based in Indiana.

Kelleigh, who pioneered the firm's nationally recognized sports law practice, and David, COO of CCHA, discuss the complexities of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) in college sports, the evolution of their practice, and Indiana's role in this evolving landscape.

They share how NIL impacts athletes and institutions, the legal intricacies involved, and their efforts to maintain integrity in sports.

Additionally, they dive into the firm's community contributions and the challenges and innovations in education law.
