Indianapolis Escorts: Calling it was it really is
Understand, I wouldn’t want agents running after eighth-grade prodigies, then showering them with cash and gifts (Reggie Bush, et al) in the hope he will sign with the agency when he turns professional.
It’s already the Wild West out there, and it would only get worse. But I thought SEC commissioner Mike Slive made a good point recently, saying the NCAA rules “may be as much a part of the problem as they are the solution.”
In other words, stop the witch hunt and give athletes an opportunity to fairly avail themselves of an agent’s services.
I found it hilarious to hear Nick Saban, Alabama’s football coach and part-time paragon of virtue –
I’m not going to be the coach at Alabama
– dismiss agents as “pimps.” Pimps, by my definition, are people who use others’ labors to enrich themselves. And what are college coaches, exactly?
