Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (10/8/2010)

If you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you know that not only did I have to deal with the pain of seeing my Gators lose to Alabama, but I also had to change my profile picture and Twitter logo+background.  Thankfully, I am no longer Nick Saban on Facebook.  If the Gators lose again, I may have to be Les Miles.  But it should not have to get to that.  I will be up in Gainesville this weekend, making my first return since this past summer when I was studying for the Florida Bar Exam.  I’m going to throw up another link to the new ChangeLegal.com.  If you read this site, I have to imagine that you will enjoy reading the posts on that site as well.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Sports Law

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.
