Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/5/11)

The NFL is back in business, college football season is quickly approaching (Go Gators!), and the NBA looks like it is going to go through a much more painful process than the NFL just experienced.  I start teaching a brand new class called Sport Agency Management at Indiana University Bloomington near the end of the month.  The beauty is that I do not have to move to Bloomington, Indiana to teach it – the beauty of technology (specifically webcams and sophisticated learning software).  Sports Agent Blog has been becoming more and more popular every month.  If you have any ideas as to how we can make it better, please let us know.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
