This weekly wrap-up is coming to you from Keswick Hall in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the terrain is beautiful and the golf is a blast.  The food is not bad either.  Between the PGA National in West Palm Beach and Keswick Hall in Charlottesville and four days of golf in the past week, I am pretty worn out.  Not to mention all my clients at Heitner Legal are keeping me very busy.  Off to Los Angeles on Wednesday and then Las Vegas the following day.  The traveling must continue.  This week on FORBES: (1) New York Sports Teams On Watch For New Cybersquatters; (2) National Basketball Players Association Picks New General Counsel; (3) Relativity Sports Signs Baseball Agent Away From Rival Octagon; (4) College Football Fans Now Have A Game Day Belt; (5) Could Peyton Manning Be Headed To Canton In A Denver Broncos Jersey?; and (6) Brooklyn Nets Partner With Fantasy Sports Company FanDuel.  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.
