Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/19/2011)

Shabbat Shalom everybody!  I will be heading to the Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers game tonight to check out some preseason action.  The story of the week (and possibly the year) was easily penned by Charles Robinson at Yahoo! Sports.  His article, Renegade Miami football booster spells out illicit benefits to players, is still one of the most popular sports topics of conversation today, and will likely remain a subject for discussion for quite some time.  It is a piece of investigative journalism that should become Exhibit A at every journalism school across the United States.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Hockey

Baseball
Football
College Sports
Soccer

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.
