Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (6/29/2018)

Nothing like having a full vacation planned only to find out mere days before leaving that the very first leg of your trip has been cancelled. Yeah, I had to deal with that a couple days ago when the airline decided to just scrap my flight, the only flight of that day and the only one that got us in to Venice in time for our cruise. Oh well. It just means I’m leaving a day earlier (today). Expect radio silence from me over the next couple of weeks, but as always, the site is in good hands with our amazing contributors. There will surely be some NBA free agency fun in the meantime, and I’ll do my best to keep on top of the myriad Woj bombs.

Thanks to Canadian casino reviews this week for the love.

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.
