Heading up to West Palm Beach this weekend to celebrate the wedding of one of my best friends. It will be another nice vacation, especially with the beautiful weather (not really) we have been experiencing in South Florida. This week on FORBES: (1) College Athletes Should Not Expect Stipends Because The Amateur Model Is More Important; (2) NBA Cares Week Returns With Heavy Dose Of Dikembe Mutombo And Emphasis On Social Media; (3) Elvis Dumervil’s Former Agent Suspended And Fined By NFL Players Association; (4) Performance Apparel Brand POINT 3 Basketball Raises Seven-Figures In Series A Investment Round; (5) Is The NFL Committing Copyright Infringement By Using Photos Without Consent? And as always, the weekly wrap-up:
