The lovely holiday of Rosh Hashanah is behind us and now we must brace for Yom Kippur. I wish all observing Yom Kippur an easy fast.  The Republican debate on CNN has become a fun excuse to gather for part of my family.  Between that and the NFL, my attention outside of Heitner Legal has been completely captured for the week.  Speaking of football, fantasy has completely taken over.  Not only are the advertisements constantly in our face, but my girlfriend will not stop talking about her fantasy team and begging me to play daily/weekly games with her.  I guess it is better than the alternative — begging me to sit down and watch shows on Bravo.  Perhaps she inspired me to start building out a new website: Fantasy.Lawyer.  Head over to my Forbes column to read about some in-depth #SportsBiz stories, and here are some other sports agent/business stories we may have missed over the past week:

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.
