This is my first post since coming back from a nice weekend vacation to the Bahamas. I was able to catch the tough loss for Kansas against VCU this weekend. Let’s not focus too much on that, and instead, look at something promising for Kansas in the near future. What: KU Sports & Entertainment Law […]

I am at Florida International Law School today speaking at the school’s first Sports Law Symposium. Later today, I will be boarding a cruise to the Bahamas for a much needed weekend of relaxation. Don’t be surprised if the posting at the beginning of next week is a little on the light side. Anyone headed […]

I am absolutely thrilled with my Florida Gators for winning tonight against BYU and making it to the Elite Eight. I want to remind all of you that you still have a chance to win the contest that we have put together with DraftStreet. All you have to do is select your roster of NBA […]
At 9:45 p.m. EST, the Arizona Wildcats will take one the #1 seeded Duke Blue Devils (who I happen to have winning the entire NCAA Tournament). The Wildcats are no push over, though. In fact, the team has one of the best players in the nation with Sophomore Derrick Williams. The kid can flat out […]

Oakland ended up putting up a good fight, but lost 85-81 to the Longhorns. Fast forward to the round of 32, and Texas went down in a heart breaker to the Arizona Wildcats. Now with […]
