What Hath Ovitz Wrouqht: Agents V. Managers Revisited, Donald E. Biederman
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
For more than 60 years, a feud has raged between artists' managers and talent agents.

All Faculty Scholarship
For most of its history, professional athletics was governed by the unilateral decisions of team owners acting in a league format. In the last twelve years, however, a variety of sporting groups, through access to the judicial system and a changed perception of the legal status of sports, have forced the owners to share the power and wealth derived from the games. Players, unions, agents and rival leagues all now participate, in some form, in the decisions which will shape the future of sports. In the course of this growth, the sports industry has matured into a national business possessed …
