My post is back on time this week (Editor’s Note: It was submitted on time, but I have been uber busy). One good piece of news I received this week was that I passed my MPRE exam. That is the ethics portion of the Bar that attorneys must pass in order to be licensed. You […]

An Intern(al) Look At Becoming A Sports Agent

This upcoming week will mark three months that I have been an Intern with Dynasty. The amount of knowledge I have gained here is unprecedented. However, I still have one month left and so much more to learn. One quick note – my bracket is busted. I was fairly confident that I could win Dynasty’s […]

After reading several articles about young people, especially college grads, attempting to break into the sports or entertainment industry, I have come to the conclusion that it may be more beneficial to pursue a degree in anything but Sport. In addition, through a conversation with a notable Athletic Director, I posed the question: Where are […]
