In April, FIBA approved the Italian Basketball Federation’s (FIP) Regulations Governing Player Agents. The Regulations are embedded at the bottom of this post and intend to regulate agents who represent all basketball players affiliated with FIP.

Sharp shooter Shelvin Mack from Butler has placed his name into the 2011 NBA Draft player pool and will not be returning to school for his senior season. Instead, Mack is deep into the process of interviewing agents, narrowing down the group of potential suitors to three: Octagon, The Neustadt Group, and ASM Sports. The three […]
Dynasty football had its first client taken in the NFL Draft last week. Michael Jasper was the heaviest player taken in the Draft and the only player to be selected from an NAIA school. The Buffalo Bills have a hard working nose tackle who is ready to tear up offensive lines…as soon as the NFL […]
When the San Diego State Aztecs were making a run in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, I predicted that the talented Kawhi Leonard was likely to leave after his Sophomore season and enter the 2011 NBA Draft. SDSU does not have a deep alumni base of professional basketball players, but a few big agencies including Excel […]

Derrick Williams just finished his Sophomore season at the University of Arizona. During the NCAA Tournament, quite a few people said that Williams was one of, if not the, best college players in America. On March 24, 2011, I looked at which agents and agencies have signed talented Arizona basketball players over the past few […]
The 2011 NFL Draft kicks off less than a week from today. In the meantime, be sure to check out the hard work Brandon Thorn has put into his mock draft, big board, and top 5 at each position. This past week, I was published in NYU’s IP and Entertainment Law Ledger. The article is […]
Travel, travel, travel…it’s all I seem to do lately. Although after this weekend’s trip to Boston to speak at Suffolk Law School (I’m speaking there tonight), the traveling will settle down for a bit until I head up to Washington D.C. for the Sports Lawyers Association Conference mid-May. I just sat through my first mediation. […]
