Keep Yourself Busy

I will be heading to Buloxi, Mississippi today (Sunday) until Wednesday evening on a gambling vacation with my father. It is kind of a nice way to lose $500 win $3,000 before I enter some place called law school in the fall. Thus, expect no posts from me until Thursday. However, if the lovely contributors would like to leave something in my absence, that would be swell.

Here are some things to dive into while I am gone:

And if you really want to keep yourself occupied, I have 2 great law review articles to read through (both of which I have already read and hope to post on before law school beats my ass):

  • The Taxation of Professional United States Athletes in Both the United States and Canada.
  • Regulating the Athlete-Agent Industry: Intended and Unintended Consequences.

Also, do not miss out on our newest feature: Popular Posts. On the bottom left corner of the footer (the bottom of the page), you can now find the most popular posts on the site. Enjoy!
