NYU Law – College Athletics: Is Anyone in Charge?

NYU

Hungover or not, this is a great video to watch on New Years Day.  Buy yourself an hour and some change, and enjoy listening to LaVar Arrington, Dana Jacobson, Bob Lamonte, Joseph Nocera and others discuss major issues in college athletics.  The event was New York Law’s 2012 Law Alumni Association Fall Lecture, moderated by moderated by NYU Professor Arthur Miller.  Enjoy.

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel.
