February 4, 2008 | Vol. XI, Issue 20 Inaugural UF Sports Law Symposium, "From the Locker Room to the Board Room," Kicks Off Friday
The purpose of this event is to give students a 360-degree view of the world of sports from the time an athlete is recruited out of high school, to their college career, to their decision to go pro, and to their life after sports. To accomplish this, we will be having four panels: coaches, players, agents, and sports executives, as well as two keynote speakers. These panels will feature an open Q&A format so students will have ample opportunity to ask questions to all of our panelists. Panelists include:
Many more speakers are scheduled and will be announced as they are confirmed. We want to use this symposium as means to educate our student body on the complex business and legal aspects of the world of sports. We hope that all students can attend for at least a portion of this great event. There is no need for pre-registration: just show up, grab a seat, and find out what happens to athletes, from the locker room to the board room.
