This rule is a mess and sure could use some sensible change. Probably applies to NFL (and agents like Peter?) as well, but the NBA aspirations of Dewan sure seem to have hosed him (once he chose to return to Miami.)
It’s irrational not to expect early-pro wannabe’s to get some guidance and assistance on such an important decision. And agents like Dawkins are eager for a payday client and will fork over jobs, gifts, and cash to grease the wheel. Hotel and airfare to see your son play costs thousands and probably is a perk few can easily say no to.
The reporting requirements are harsh; and who wants to be a rat? Even if you get yourself a lawyer (which ain’t cheap) there’s a fine line between “agent” and a “lawyer who represents you” in the NCAA minds. Change is needed badly!
