The Collegiate Issues in Sports Law Writing Competition was created by Christian Bray (L'14) the Senior Associate Athletic Director of Athletics Compliance & Student Success at Harvard, to ”recognize the Marquette University Law School student who writes the best essay focused on important collegiate athletics related issues in the sport industry,” as of course judged by the Competition Review Committee. 

With so many current issues going on in the collegiate athletics industry there is plenty to write about. Papers that you write now, wrote as an undergraduate, your student comment(s), etc., can all be submitted to this competition. Complete details on what is required to enter the award can be found online here. The competition is open to 1Ls, 2Ls and 3Ls, and submissions are due Monday, March 23. 

The winner receives a monetary award and will be announced during our Annual Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 24, 2026.
