  • Chapter III: The basic analytical framework for applying the Sherman Act to the sports industry, including Section 1 and Section 2 claims, the single-entity doctrine, and modes of analysis such as per se, quick look, and full rule of reason for Section 1 cases, along with Section 2 principles.

  • Chapter IV: Application of these principles to recurring issues, including market definition, market power, and challenged restraints involving players, teams, equipment, and broadcasts.

  • Chapter V: Private litigation in sports, addressing standing, class actions, injunctions, and damages.
