Allowing Prospects in Some Sports To Have Agents Gaining Steam

A serious proposal to allow prospective student-athletes in some sports to have agents before they start college is gaining momentum. The proposal, in the works since a review of agent legislation started in 2010, was discussed by the Division I Leadership Council in October. The same proposal is on the agenda for the Division I Legislative Council at the NCAA Convention in January.

So.. as I read this my head started to spin. I thinks the intentions are good but fear it will allow the haves to gain more and the have nots to lose more.

I think this would open up a huge can of worms/Pandora's box.
