Back to school, back to school. First week done. This semester seems like it will be much more relaxed than any I have experienced thus far in law school…especially once the 2009 UF Sports Law Symposium is over. I cannot wait for next Friday, when it will all go down at the UF Levin College […]
As our country deepens into a recession, we are now seeing how the poor economy is affecting the sports industry, firsthand. The NBA has laid people off, the NFL just laid off 10% of its work force, the NHL is on a hiring freeze, and the Arena Football League suspended its 2009 season. In addition, […]
Guest contribution from Neil Stratton of InsideTheLeague.com and Executive DIrector of the ’08 Hula Bowl. One question I get repeatedly, from newly certified agent to seasoned veteran, is: How do I get my kid into a college football all-star game? The question comes up so frequently that when I was invited by Darren to address […]
New Years Eve is right around the corner. If you will be down in South Beach, have clients down in SoBe, or want to show a potential client a good time, I suggest you send them to the premier party on the beach this year. It will be going down at the various clubs at […]

This past Saturday, the slate of college football games included a few conference championship games and a couple of final regular season games. The season is wrapped up for college football programs, the only matches left to play being the bowl games. Plenty of NCAA programs have already begun to look to next year and […]
This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you from Marlboro, New Jersey. I spent the entire day at the Princeton Sports Symposium in Princeton, meeting new people and finally putting a face behind many readers of this blog (myself and Dynasty‘s Coaches Division Director, Jason Belzer, pictured above). I will definitely follow up with […]
DE 1. Brian Orakpo (Sr./ Texas) -He’s a physical freak, has the strength to overpower lineman and the speed to go around them. May be the best defensive player in the country. He also fits the mold of a great outside pass rusher in a 3-4 system. 2. Michael Johnson (Sr./ Georgia Tech) -At 6’7 […]
At home this weekend against The Citadel, away next week against FSU, and then the SEC Championship vs. Alabama. Can the Florida Gators pull it off and return to the National Championship game? If so, it will be in my backyard of Miami, Florida. Dynasty is real happy about Dan Leatherman re-signing with the Nats. […]
