College Football Players Recruiting

Re: NCAA Letter Seeking Agent Cooperation

Here’s a truly quick post.  Pete Fiutak of CollegeFootballNews.com made me laugh when he wrote the following yesterday,

“You know those photos where the new player holds up the team jersey and poses with the owner? That’s me on the left.” … CFN has obtained a copy of the carefully-crafted, well-articulated, e-mailed response crafted by the NFLPA and the agents, who received a letter from the NCAA looking for an “environment of cooperation” after the Reggie Bush controversy and all the recent scandals.

TO: The NCAA
Cc: Nick Saban; Urban Meyer; Pat Haden
Bcc: All college football players with a glimmer of pro potential
Subject: Your Letter Seeking Agent Cooperation

No.

Sincerely,
Agents
