SI Cover Story: Confessions of an agent
Quote:
I will never forget the first time I paid a player.
There are moments you will always remember, like your first kiss or your first home run or the day you met your wife. For me, the first time I broke an NCAA rule to try to land a client is just as indelible.
I had a friend who, years ago, was an agent. On several occasions in conversations with me, she decried the sleaziness of the industry. She eventually found her niche representing coaches. Far less cutthroat, and you marketed to adults rather than college aged kids.
