Michigan Law professor Daniel Crane was speaking at the Federalist Society’s national lawyers convention last week when the assembled legal wonks kept stopping him to discuss something that wasn’t on the originalism agenda: the explosive sign-stealing scandal engulfing his school’s football team.
After Crane’s beloved Wolverines drew the wrath of the college sports world, Crane cooked up a novel theory in their defense.
In perhaps the spiciest piece ever to hit the Yale Journal on Regulation, Crane argued that the NCAA bylaw Michigan is accused of violating may be unenforceable—because it violates antitrust law.
