Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (2/25/2011)

Shout out to all the agents currently freezing their tails off in Indianapolis.  It is where the NFL Scouting Combine is held every year and happens to be the most popular annual meeting for NFL Certified Contract Advisors to attend.  This year, it happens to be a mandatory meeting for all Contract Advisors.  The NFLPA decided to make it mandatory based on the upcoming expiration of the current NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement.  I spent a few days in Memphis, Tennessee this week and had the opportunity to meet many people in the athletic department.  I am getting ready to start making the rounds in Spring Training, with Jupiter being my main spot.  Let me know if you will be around, and maybe we can meet up.  Here are some stories I missed this 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.
