Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/13/2010)

Big thanks to Domenic Perilli for making sure you all had reading material this Wednesday and Thursday while I was enjoying a week long vacation in Las Vegas.  It was a much needed voyage after three years of law school and a few terrible months of studying for the Florida Bar Exam.  We had quite an entourage out there, which included Dynasty‘s Human Resources Director, Justin Herzig.  Things won’t be going back to normal just yet, as I took a red-eye home and immediately drove up to Gainesville.  I am packing up my room and finally moving into my new place in Fort Lauderdale.  It is an exciting time, but boy will it be busy.  Anyway, here are some stories I missed over the last week:

Sports Agents

• Congrats to Eugene Parker, who was inducted as part of the inaugural class of the Concordia Athletic Hall of Fame [Concordia honors best of the best].

Football

• Making a case that a rookie wage scale might limit impermissible agent payments to student-athletes [Possible effects of new CBA].
• “The greatest trap is trying to live up to the expectation of the NFL.” [Money management a difficult lesson for NFL’s rookie class]
• Great Pro Tect Management brochure inside cover find. You come to expect this from Yahoo! Sports [Coach-agent ties probed].
• Some good lines from Saban at the end of this article [Coaches, NFL discuss agent access].

Sports Law

• An effective scare tactic? [N.C. State’s Yow warns agents]
• A couple of interesting questions regarding compliance departments [College football grasping to keep agents, lure of cash from tainting eligibility of its athletes].

Baseball

• Think Moorad was saying the same things to baseball execs when he was on the other side of the table? [Who’s Your Padre?]
