In the world of collegiate sports, navigating NCAA rules and compliance can be a daunting task.

That’s where Masterly Legal Solutions comes in. Our NCAA attorney services are tailored to provide robust legal counsel in a range of areas, from NCAA compliance to infractions investigations, ensuring that our clients’ rights and reputations are protected.
When you’re facing NCAA compliance challenges, you need a law firm that understands the unique pressures of college sports. Led by Andrew Rhoden, a former NCAA Division I college football coach and administrator, Masterly Legal Solutions offers more than just legal advice — we bring firsthand experience in navigating the complexities of collegiate athletics. As a former NCAA athlete, Andrew brings unique insights into the challenges faced by current college athletes.

Moreover, Andrew has been recognized by Thomson Reuters Super Lawyers as one of the top
sports law attorneys in the United States, further cementing his authority in the realm of sports law. His unique combination of legal and collegiate athletic experience gives him an unparalleled edge in defending clients in all NCAA matters.
Masterly Legal Solutions is deeply involved in a wide array of legal services aimed at ensuring that universities, athletic departments, and intercollegiate athletics programs comply with NCAA bylaws and that infractions cases are handled fairly. Our legal representation is designed to defend the rights of our clients, protect their careers, and minimize the long-term effects of any investigations or infractions.
Facing an NCAA infractions investigation is one of the most stressful challenges for any coach or university. Whether it’s due to alleged recruiting violations, improper benefits, or other NCAA rules violations, the potential consequences can include suspension, termination, or even a loss of scholarships for the program.
At Masterly Legal Solutions, we are seasoned in guiding clients through NCAA infractions investigations. Our NCAA attorneys provide expert counsel in all stages of the investigation, from responding to NCAA inquiries to preparing for appearances before the NCAA Committee on Infractions, ensuring NCAA rules compliance. We make sure our clients understand the intricacies of NCAA rules and how to best navigate compliance audits to protect their careers and programs.

Our goal is to protect our clients’ rights while ensuring that their programs remain compliant with NCAA regulations.
Coaches face unique challenges in collegiate athletics, often shouldering the weight of NCAA compliance for their teams. Our sports law attorneys have extensive experience negotiating contracts for coaches, ensuring that their rights are protected and that they are fairly compensated. We help coaches negotiate contract terms, including salary, benefits, and buyout provisions, while ensuring compliance with NCAA rules.
Andrew Rhoden has successfully negotiated contracts for college coaches and administrators across a range of NCAA sports, making sure that their agreements are tailored to their specific circumstances and career goals. Whether you are renegotiating an existing contract or entering into a new one, Masterly Legal Solutions will represent your interests every step of the way.
Compliance with NCAA bylaws and Title IX is essential for universities and athletic programs. Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, is a critical area of focus for universities to ensure they are not only providing equal opportunities but also protecting themselves from potential lawsuits.
Masterly Legal Solutions has developed comprehensive Title IX training programs for universities, athletic departments, and coaches. Our legal team works closely with schools to create effective compliance programs, ensuring that universities and their athletic programs meet all federal and NCAA requirements.
The introduction of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights for college athletes has created a new set of challenges and opportunities for universities, coaches, and athletes. NIL deals allow student-athletes to profit from endorsements, sponsorships, and their personal brand, but they must comply with a strict set of NCAA rules.
At Masterly Legal Solutions, we help universities, coaches, and athletic departments navigate the complexities of NIL. We also collaborate with top sports agencies to review lucrative NIL contracts for student-athletes. Our sports law specialists ensure that all NIL contracts are compliant with NCAA bylaws, state laws, and protect the interests of both the university and the athlete.
Our NIL services include:
We are dedicated to helping our clients stay ahead of the evolving landscape of NIL regulations while maximizing opportunities for their student-athletes.
