Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (1/29/2010)

We are currently live from the 2010 UF Sports Law Symposium.  Click here to watch the live stream of the event.  There’s no other way to celebrate the completion of the event other than a nightcap at my favorite Gainesville restaurant, Dragonfly.  See some of you there?  Next Wednesday I will be making the trek down to South Florida for Super Bowl related events.  I will be kicking it off at the Moves Magazine party on Wednesday night, following it up with the GQ Party on Thursday, Leather & Laces on Friday, Leigh Steinberg’s party Saturday afternoon, and Saturday Night Spectacular…you guessed it…Saturday night.  If you will be heading to any of those events, reach out to me beforehand.  Pete Parise is tearing up the Puerto Rico Baseball League playoffs.  The young man knows how to perform when it really matters.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week.

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.
