Yes, I’m back.  Hopefully on a permanent basis, but you never know.  Multiple businesses, writing at Forbes, teaching at the University of Florida and University of Florida Levin College of Law, among other things, have kept me extremely occupied.  But I can never forget about my baby, Sports Agent Blog.  I also will never forget about the significance of this day — 9/11.  May we all never forget the atrocities that were committed and do whatever we can to live in a peaceful, loving world.

The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah approaches us.  It is the time wherein we celebrate the new year.  So dip your apples in your honey, and enjoy the following sports agent/business related links from the past week:

Sports Law

By Darren Heitner

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. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
