The college Summer Vacations are coming to a close, which means that sports and entertainment law students are actively preparing for their upcoming 2010/2011 Sports/Entertainment Law Symposiums. This week, I received my 1st “Save the Date” email. The information is below. What: Santa Clara Law 2010 Sports Law Symposium When: September 16, 2010 (9 a.m. […]
After what seemed like the slowest sports news week of the year, this week has been full of stories – mostly revolving around LeBron James. I’m a little hungover from the excitement of Wade, Bosh, and James in the city that I will most likely be returning to in less than a month. Not guaranteeing […]

If you do not remember the lawsuit or the previous post on SportsAgentBlog.com, here is a quick review. On […]
It was covered all over the sports journalism landscape yesterday – The NFL lost its case in American Needle, Inc. v. National Football League. It wasn’t just a loss, it was a unanimous loss (9-0). The basic holding is that the NFL is not recognized as a single-entity. Instead, for antitrust purposes, it is made […]
I am smack in the middle of Week 1 of studying for the Florida and Multistate Bar Exam. If I had no time management skills, I would crash and burn trying to manage studying for this mega test along with everything else I am doing at the same time. I wish I were out in […]
In two hours, I will be on stage at the O’Connell Center (where UF plays its basketball games), officially graduating from University of Florida’s Levin College of Law. The whole family is in town, which is nice (but rare). On Monday, I begin studying for the Florida Bar. As I have mentioned before, other than […]

The Minor Leagues: Introduction
“Mr. Hart, here is a dime. Take it, call your mother, and tell her there is serious doubt about you ever becoming a lawyer.” We were shown this clip from the classic law school movie, The Paper Chase, during my orientation at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Before being accepted, many of us […]
