Agents and College Players

Not going to be a very long post but I wanted to touch on the Agent/Player relationships that are being talked about at some of the Media Days (especially the ACC and the SEC).  These Agents are sending “runners” to contact players and pay for shit, take them to parties, and eventually getting them to sign with them.  It obviously is becoming a bigger and bigger problem and the NCAA ends up punishing the school several years after the act occurs.  Reggie Bush is a good example of someone who got more than a big screen Tv.  This guy got a damn half million dollar house for his mama-an-nem.  So now a kid that was a freshman in high school at the time of the events, who had absolutely no knowledge of such violations, will not have a chance to play in a bowl game.  I’m sorry but that doesn’t seem like a very fitting punishment.  The head coach, at the time of the events, is now making millions of dollars in Seattle and will have ZERO punishment for allowing this to happen.  The player that took the money and the goods will have a painting of him removed…  that’s it.  BUT!!  the kids that were in high school at the time will be get the punishment.  I just don’t see how this makes any sense. 

Solution.  Any person affiliated with a sports agencies in anyway that gets caught giving goods to any student athlete will have the agency that he represents suspended from any negotiations with any NFL team.
