Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (5/4/2018)

How do you like our new look? Every so often, it feels like it’s time for a facelift, and you’ll find that the changes here aren’t all that big. But hopefully the site loads a bit faster, is easier to read on iPads and mobile phones and just looks a little better. Hopefully everyone has a fun and safe Cinco de Mayo and that all of your Kentucky Derby predictions come true. I’m in South Florida for the next week before taking my first trip ever to Singapore, which I hear is a fantastic place to visit.

Sports Law

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.
