What a week. If sports agents were not officially under the microscope prior to the Sports Illustrated piece that has consumed the world (check out posts from this week if you have not yet read the story), then there is surely no doubt that the profession is being watched now.

If you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you know that not only did I have to deal with the pain of seeing my Gators lose to Alabama, but I also had to change my profile picture and Twitter logo+background. Thankfully, I am no longer Nick Saban on Facebook. If […]

Good luck to Clint Robinson and the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (the Double-A Kansas City Royals Affiliate) as they attempt to capture the Texas League […]

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 […]
The New York Supreme Court (which for all of our non-law school readers, is actually the lowest court in the New York state court system) recently ruled in one part of Marist University’s lawsuit against Matt Brady, former men’s basketball coach at Marist, and his new employer James Madison University. Brady left Marist to coach […]
Remember when I took roughly a week of your time going on a rant about interference with contractual relations? If you need a refresher, see: Sports Agents Interfering With Contractual Relations, Digging Deeper Into The Contractual Interference Claim, and The Interference With Contractual Relations Conversation Continues. In those posts, I looked into the claim that […]
