I’ll bet that you’re surprised to see a football game on the cover of this month’s issue. It’s a departure from the usual lawyer shot, or someone under the gun testifying at a congressional hearing.

A lot of readers out there have experienced them: union representation drives, the definition of “employee,” sexual harassment involving the people in the organization, public relations nightmares and crisis management. The difference is that these issues have come to the forefront of what used to be a relatively calm job: general counsel of an institution of higher learning.
