It was an enjoyable and successful six days in New York City, but I’m glad to be back in Florida for a few days before I head to Pittsburgh and Scottsdale next week. Today, I’m off to Gainesville for my annual trip to a Gators football game. Unfortunately, the team is on a mighty slide […]

Greetings from Valparaiso Law School, where I will be speaking on a couple of panels with great friends in the Sports Law community.
