| As we get ready for Super Bowl week there will be non-stop coverage of the NFL
But a couple interesting perspectives here about the lessons from the Penn State and Syracuse situations. Also a great chart I use in speaking engagements to illustrate the difficulty/likelihood of playing sports in college or professionally. An overview of recording industry contracts which highlights some of the dangers for athletes and their agents trying to get into film or music. And we will end with a humorous money making opportunity from Craiglist for those wanting to pick up a few dollars before the Super Bowl. Roy Kessel (rkessel@sportsloop.com) |
