Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to offer suggestions to engage your students when arriving at the ethics portion of your business law, legal environment, or sports law course. With due respect given to the classic theory of ethics, the paper offers ethical issues in the context of sport at all levels, including youth sport, interscholastic, intercollegiate, professional and the Olympic Games. Unique topics include sport-related fraud, the use of performance-enhancing drugs and technology, raging parents, running up the score, and whether the myriad of NCAA bylaws genuinely reflect and promote fundamental principles of amateurism, sportsmanship, and education.

Keywords: sports, law, ethics, pedagogy, Olympics, NCAA, interscholastic, youth sport, intercollegiate sport, performance-enhancing drugs, raging, parents, NCAA, bylaws, amateurism, sportsmanship
