Besides being a showcase for NFL Prospects to show scouts, GMs, and other NFL executives their strength, speed, and intelligence, the NFL Combine serves as a meeting place for almost all NFLPA certified agents. The NFLPA’s agent regulations require agents to go to one seminar each year, and most agents choose the one during the Combine since many of them are out there anyway to provide support to NFL Draft Prospects they represent. Now Sports Management Worldwide is adding another event to the week’s festivities.

Hey Guys, I am a part of a student group interested in going to the 2010 event…. Can anyone give me some feedback as to what the last event was like and if it would be worth spending the money and time to organize a trip from Minnesota to Indianapolis? what is it like for students there? thanks for the help guys
