I am back in Gainesville, FL to begin my last semester of law school, which officially begins next Monday. Someone needs to place a giant heater above this city. It’s not supposed to get in the 20’s during the day! The 2010 UF Sports Law Symposium is quickly approaching. If you have not booked your travel for it yet, I suggest you do so now. Immediately following the Symposium, people will be heading south for the Pro Bowl, the events leading up to the Super Bowl (some events are highlighted in a link below), and the Super Bowl, itself. Hopefully it warms up a little by then. We are doing a giant re-haul of the Dynasty website. Here are some stories I missed over the past week.
