Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (11/13/2015)

Greetings from Valparaiso Law School, where I will be speaking on a couple of panels with great friends in the Sports Law community. On tap for today is a discussion on breaking in to the Sports Law industry and a general debate with my buddy Marc Edelman on the world of fantasy sports. Speaking of fantasy sports, the week has been full of TV and radio requests along with work for HEITNER LEGAL clients in the space. I wrote a few articles on the subject of the New York Attorney General sending a cease and desist demand to FanDuel and DraftKings, which you can find on my Forbes column. Here are some sports agent/business stories you may have missed over the past week:

Football

Baseball

Soccer

Hockey

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.
