Bud Selig -- that's MLB commish to you -- is moonlighting. Marquette University announced today that Selig has been named to the Law School's adjunct faculty as distinguished lecturer in sports law and policy.
"Bud Selig is, without question, one of the most skilled and accomplished professionals in the sports industry today," said Joseph D. Kearney, dean of Marquette Law School, in a statement. "We are truly honored that he would commit his time to our students and grateful that he's chosen our classrooms as a place to pass down his significant wisdom to the next generation of leaders."
Selig has been lecturing for several Professional Sports Law courses during the spring semester at the school since 2009 and the appointment simply formalizes the arrangement. Selig has also been a board member of the school's National Sports Law Institute since it was launched in 1989.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the lively dialogue with students in the classroom at Marquette Law School over the past several years," said Selig. "It is very rewarding for me to pass on some of my experiences and hopefully enrich their legal education by discussing sports law and business issues affecting the historical development, structure and operations of Major League Baseball."
