Sports Agents' Roles and Likely Influence of Legal Changes

Abstract: A 23 page paper discussing what sports agents do and some of the questionable practices they use in doing it. Though there are only 1,800 players in the NFL, there are 900 registered agents, most of whom have no one to represent. The competition between them is intense, and many choose not to adhere to NCAA and other regulations. Sports agents appear to know where to draw the line for themselves, where further breach of regulations and ethics will begin to negatively affect their incomes and potential incomes in the future. With the ability that agents currently have to circumvent existing regulations, it is likely that those determined to be unscrupulous would not long be deterred by weightier restrictions that do not also change the system by which agents operate.
