However, the 2010 UF Sports Law Symposium defied the norm and did exactly that, bringing some of the top names in the sports industry to Gainesville. The symposium was titled […]
Just as I finished writing this article, I received news that the MLS and the MLS Players Union decided to extend their collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) negotiations to February 12th, as opposed to their original deadline of February 1st.
