Looking forward to the Nova Southeastern University Sports & Entertainment Law Symposium this Sunday. If you are in South Florida, come […]
Last week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that longtime football agent Jim Steiner retired from being a sports agent.

A few weeks ago, Rachel Baribeau of the Tuscaloosa News had a long conversation with Jimmy Sexton of newly formed SportsTrust Advisors. Baribeau got a hold of Sexton at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. I strongly consider you to read the interview in its entirety. The Q&A that interests me the most is the […]
