A family friend in Dallas Fort Worth is asking for advice on how to practice sports law or work on behalf of sports teams. This is so far outside my wheelhouse I have no idea what to say.

Anyone have insight into a practice or firm that touches sports in the DFW market?

There's really no such thing as "sports law" if you think about it. My firm represents some college conferences and pro teams for certain matters, but it's treated just like any other matter. If it's a lease, it goes to a real estate lawyer. If it's a vendor contract, to contracts/commercial. Premises liability at the stadium? Litigation. And so on.

That's not a specific enough question from your friend. Athletes, teams, leagues, international governing bodies and stadium owners all require many different kinds of work.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

Hi! Is anyone hiring for mid/entry level in house recruiters either located in the San Diego area or remote?

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick.

We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
