Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (10/12/2018)

It has definitely been a busy week at Heitner Legal. At least I’m following through on my own suggestion to make October the month you give it your all and grind at least twice as hard as you did in September. The beginning of November won’t be any more relaxing on the work front (in fact, I have to miss the Turkish Airlines Open for the first time in four years, which is pretty disappointing for me), and I’m already looking forward to a hopefully more relaxing mid-to-end of December. I’d rather not discuss the Dolphins, but how bout them Gators!

This week on The Sports Biz:
(1) On Demand Esports App One Up Announces Launch and $2 Million Raise;
(2) Job Opening: FAU Seeks Senior Associate Athletic Director;
(3) Job Opening: Under Armour Seeks Head Of Marketing For SC Brand;
(4) RotoGrinders Fantasy Sports Community Launches Network Of Sites With New Sports Betting Coverage;

(7) Full Sail University Is Building The Biggest Collegiate Esports Arena
(8) What Phones Give Players A Competitive Edge In Mobile Esports Tournaments

And as always, the weekly wrap-up:

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.
