Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up

I’m struggling to get this post out, but what would SportsAgentBlog.com be without a Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up piece?  The 2009 UF Sports Law Symposium was a resounding success.  From noon to 5 p.m., the UF Levin College of Law was stacked with leading sports business professionals and intelligent students eager to learn from and network with the best.  Hopefully the live feed worked okay.  Some people said that it was great, others said they could not hear a thing.  There is only one solution, though.  Next year, get your ass down to Gainesville!  And now for some stories I missed over the past week:

By Darren Heitner

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
