I am up in New York for the weekend, staying in Scarsdale, but I will be in the City all day today. A lot of business meetings scheduled. Saturday will be a true day of rest, as I celebrate a friend’s birthday. Can’t beat the fact that one of my clients will be at the […]

Big thanks to Domenic Perilli for making sure you all had reading material this Wednesday and Thursday while I was enjoying a week long vacation in Las Vegas. It was a much needed voyage after three years of law school and a few terrible months of studying for the Florida Bar Exam. We had quite […]
In Pat Forde’s column from last Friday titled, Cooperation key to solving agent issue, he wrote the following: At the very least, the NCAA’s raid of sorts on North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama — those are just the schools we know about — has sent a panic through both college football and the […]
MUST BE TUESDAY BABY! Which obviously means a brand new “What Would You Do…?” among many other totally awesome things. So stop thinking about how much you hate your job, and play agent with me for a hot minute here. We obviously have SO much sports agent material to use between the whole Darrelle Revis […]

In those posts, I looked into the claim that […]
I hope that part of my life is behind me. Taking the Florida Bar Exam was quite an interesting experience, but one that I wish to never have again in the future. I celebrated finishing the exam two nights ago, and I think that I am just now recovering from it all. I have a […]
As I have mentioned on this site and on my Twitter feed (@Darren_Heitner), the NCAA is finally taking enforcement of its regulations seriously. A few days ago, many of my colleagues were questioning my focus on the investigation at UNC, because of the fact that it is readily known that some agents hand over benefits […]
I am smack in the middle of my last full-length Florida Bar Practice Exam. Today, the focus is Day 2 of the exam – the Multistate Portion, which is a whopping 6 hours of 200 multiple choice questions. Envy me yet? I know I have been bitching a lot about this test; hopefully I haven’t […]
Rick Horrow, also known as “The Sports Professor”, recently interviewed Tom Condon for Fox Sports. He asked Condon if he thought that the agent business regulates itself adequately. The response: “No, not really.” The big problem is the enforcement of the rules, not that the rules don’t exist. If Condon could change one thing, it would […]
