That would be bad enough right. An issue here is that many of these agents/representatives have zero professional background.

I'll provide a specific example. Vernell Brown III's father is an "agent". He's an assistant HS football coach at a school that cranks out D1 talent. NU signed a WR from that school this year. He's a former Gator and his son is a Gator. In other words, his experience is that he manages his son, & he has access to a steady stream of potential clients. He may very well provide adequate representation, but a player I know who interviewed him to become his agent was told his process was simply putting his contact info on the players socials so that interested parties could contact him. And this is a guy who should have a decent # of contacts simply because he's involved in a program that hosts an endless # of recruiters on the regular.

so there is no legit comparable information for NIL deals then? Just parent/agent report? Good grief, just ripe for misrepresentation that borders on fraud. I wonder how many guys go into the portal on an "agent" promise? A lawyer would be better because at least they are monitored by an ethics board.
