Last year, Josh Luchs (the topic of George Dohrmann’s Sports Illustrated piece) revealed Luchs’ paying money and providing other benefits to recruits throughout his sports agent career. Luchs later lost his NFLPA Contract Advisor certification (which surprised no one), but it gave him a platform to speak about the inner workings of the pay-to-play system that many […]

Last year I reported on what was then a brand new site, called MogoTXT. The service seemed like it could be a good fit for many busy athletes, as it allows “text only once, but update fans everywhere” (MogoTXT, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.) convenience. Since my original post on MogoTXT, the site has really ramped […]
On Monday, I almost had a heart-attack. Sure, I am exaggerating a bit, but when the news broke that Florida Bar Exam scores had been posted, I got extremely nervous. Since completing the exam, everyone I had spoken to said that they knew I passed. I still was not convinced. Upon finding out that I had […]
What a week it has been. With barely any time left before I take the Florida Bar Exam, I have been bogged down covering the pending NCAA investigations at UNC, USC, Alabama, Georgia, and UF. It is nice to finally see the NCAA looking into a few agent/player benefit accusations. We all know that it […]

Our interns are hard at work researching, analyzing, and doing everything possible to make it a better tomorrow for Dynasty’s clients. They still have a couple months to go in […]

In reality, many athlete […]

Can Twitter officially be considered a game changer? Some of my clients refuse to join the service. After hearing their reasoning, I personally don’t blame them. I am not ready to call the social network a game changer just yet. Until I see it bring a substantial benefit to a professional athlete, I’ll call it […]
First of all, I hope that everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season and that you are as excited about 2010 as I am. With 2009 in the rear view mirror, I have my hopes set that 2010 will be a big year both as a professional in the industry and as a fan. […]
