Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up

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 of Law.  Everyone is invited.  No registration and no fee.  And an excellent opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry and shake hands with them as well.  I hope that everyone enjoys their long weekends.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Football

• I really admire this guy.  Still think that he would be an agent’s dream come true to represent [Myron Rolle Chooses Oxford Over NFL].
• So who’s the victim? [Attorney general: State victim of alleged agent, player contact]
• Not a big fan of open tryouts, but figured I’d pass along the info [Open tryouts for the 2009 AF2 Football Season].
• $15 million per season? [Giant payday coming to Eli Manning after laying Eagle egg]
• Retired but still up for a fight [Federal Judge Upholds $28 Million Award to Retired NFL Players].
• Brian Dawkins, Kurt Warner, and Matt Birk: Who’s your pick? [Dawkins finalist for man-of-year award]
• Kurt Warner as other things on his mind, though [Cardinals’ Warner Can Add $4 Million in Bonuses With NFL Title].

Sports Business

• So long to The Bonham Group [Bonham sports marketing shuts doors, citing economy].

Baseball

• A strong case against implementing a salary cap [Let Freedom Ring].
