Throughout his career he has innovated solutions for a wide variety of complicated problems.<\/p><p>James led the litigation against the NCAA that enabled a small NAIA school in Texas to become a full member of the NCAA Division I without waiting the full probationary period, which ultimately led many other institutions to follow, fundamentally changing the landscape of collegiate athletics.<\/p><p>He also fashioned the use of immunity for the first time in an NCAA investigation that not only preserved a student-athlete\u2019s eligibility at what is now a Big 12 football program, but also resulted in lessening the sanctions against that University\u2019s athletic program.<\/p><p>As Special Counsel charged with investigating the university\u2019s handling of sexual assaults at both a Big 10 and a Big 12 university, his work led to the implementation of new and improved practices and procedures dealing with these issues.<\/p><p>Mr. Bryant also served in-house positions at a number of universities, including The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and Union Theological Seminary of New York City. He was Special Counsel to the Boards of the University of Iowa and The Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges (Oklahoma State University).<\/p><p>He has taught at the University of Louisville, Wichita State University, and Oklahoma City University School of Law. He has given guest lectures at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, the William and Mary School of Law, and the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. Bryant became a Tower Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin in 2023. He has served as a board member for three liberal arts colleges and two national operating non-profits.<\/p><p>As a professional sports attorney, he represented four NBA All Stars, among the over 30 players for which he was an agent and represented dozens more as their lawyer. He also represented a Division I Conference. Bryant previously served as President of ProServ Basketball and a Vice President of ProServ as well as Counsel to ProServ Television. He was involved as counsel in the litigation between the NBA players and owners during two lockouts and also negotiated the contract to purchase an NBA franchise in the upper Midwest.<\/p><p>James owns a film company in Los Angeles, Jesse James Films. His film \u201cWhat the Hell Happened to Blood Sweat and Tears\u201d was released in over 100 theaters in 2023 and was nominated and a finalist for Critics\u2019 Choice Music Documentary Of The Year.<\/p><p><strong>Representative Experience:<\/strong><br \/>Member, Oklahoma House of Representatives<br \/>Assistant District Attorney, Oklahoma<br \/>Special Judge, Oklahoma<br \/>Associate District Judge, Oklahoma<br \/>District Judge, Oklahoma<\/p><p><strong>Published Works:<\/strong><br \/>Book co-author \u201cBridging the Gaps \u2013 A Field Guide to Networks,\u201d (Lucas Park Books, St. Louis, Missouri, 2008)<br \/>Book author \u201cLiberal Arts Colleges in Crises.
