Moorad Center For The Study of Sports Law
In 2012 the Jeffrey S. Moorad Center for the Study of Sports Law was created at Villanova with the goal of preparing students for careers in sports related fields and was funded by a $5 million dollar donation from the San Diego Padres vice chairman and CEO Jeffrey S. Moorad who is a 1981 graduate of Villanova University School of Law. The Moorad Center for the Study of Sports Law is one of only a few in the United States dedicated to the study of sports law and is run by its director Andrew Brandt, a lawyer, former NFL team executive and ESPN commentator.
