Sports Business Carnival #5

Head over to Take a Peck and check out the newest edition of Sports Business Carnival. [Sports Business Carnival #5]. I Want to be a Sports Agent made it into the carnival with our recent post arguing that athletes should continue to have full-time agents and that an hourly fee based relationship should only be used in rare circumstances [He Works Hard For The Money].

Now for a couple of notes:

  1. Our new sidebar is so fun and flashy. You really should check it out. Click on Archives for a list of posts by month, category, and check out our posts from exactly a year ago on this day. Also, subscribe for e-mail alerts. You will get an email every morning with the previous day’s posts.
  2. I did a pretty damn good job predicting the BCS Bowl matchups. I predicted all 10 teams, but missed on a few playing matchups. Also, I think it’s the most commented article in I Want to be a Sports Agent‘s history. Check it out [Missouri And West VA Lose, BCS Anarchy].
  3. Tim Tebow for Heisman. No explanation needed.
