Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/27/12)

If you are following the NFL Draft, you also want to follow this list of players selected (along with their agents), which will be updated as the Draft moves along.  I cannot complain with the Miami Dolphins’ pick of Ryan Tannehill.  His wife is thrilled as well.  Tough loss in 2OT for my hometown Florida Panthers last night, but I am really looking forward to the NBA Playoffs and hoping that the Miami Heat can make it through the tough Eastern Conference.  I will be speaking at the American Bar Association Forum On The Entertainment And Sports Industries next week.  If you are in South Florida, I would love to see you there.  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.
