The applicants who took the 2009 NFLPA Advisor examination this past July were notified yesterday, by email, on whether they passed or failed. Out of 246 hopefuls, 76% passed. That comes out to 186.96. Special congratulatory note to the person who counts as 96% of a whole person. I kid.
I have a few friends who passed this year’s exam, including one person who has been helping Dynasty with CFL and UFL placements. For those that passed, don’t get ahead of yourselves quite yet. You cannot officially start to recruit potential clients until you pay the $1,200 annual fee and obtain liability insurance. If you do not do both by October 1, then you will have to re-take and pass the 2010 examination to become certified.
Those who passed also get to look forward to attending one of the three seminars offered in 2010.
Make sure you get registered in the states you plan to recruit players in, start making relationships with university compliance offices, and I suggest you sign up for an account with Neil Stratton’s InsideTheLeague.com to keep abreast of player/agent news.
