Thanks to Ben Sturner of Leverage Agency for this kick ass Challahgram.
Thanks to Ben Sturner of Leverage Agency for this amazing Challahgram.

Manti Te’o and Lance Armstrong were still topics of conversation this week, and then the NCAA had to come in and stir the pot.  Now, the talk of the town is what went wrong in the investigation of former University of Miami booster Nevin Shapiro.  I am happy to announce that I was named a Partner of my law firm, Wolfe Law Miami, this week, and continue to enjoy the legal services I provide to my clients.  This past week, I wrote the following on Forbes.com: (1) The Benefits Of A Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Showdown; (2) Livestrong’s Challenges As A Consequence Of Lance Armstrong’s Confession; (3) Harbaugh Brothers Super Bowl Introduces Incredible Opportunity For Brands; (4) What Is The Cost Of Crowdsourcing Super Bowl Ads?; (5) How NFL Draft Prospects Build Their Personal Brands; and (6) Study To Focus On The Financially Healthy Athlete.  And, as always, the weekly wrap-up:

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.
