Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/14/09)

In South Florida this weekend?  Head to the Boca Town Center Mall tomorrow.  I will be there with my step-father as he hosts a large Franchise & Business Opportunities Show.  Then, on Sunday, it’s back to Gainesville for my final year of law school.  I got my Summer grades back this week and I am very happy with my scores.  It’s nice to be able to juggle everything that I am doing while maintaining a strong GPA in law school.  I am finished contributing to a new book authored by Bob Ruxin that will be coming out in December: An Athlete’s Guide to Agents 5th Edition.  Get pumped.  Yesterday, SI quoted me in a good article.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Sports Agents

Baseball

Football

Basketball

  • Last year, 18 of the 60 NBA draftees spent time in the NBA D-League [Rookie Transition].

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.
