Many NFLPA certified Contract Advisors are severely conflicted between representing players and the coaches and/or front office NFL team personnel. No agency might be more conflicted than the newly formed SportsTrust Advisors, which is the result of a merger of Jimmy Sexton’s Athletic Resource Management (ARM) and Pat Dye, Jr.’s ProFiles Sports, Inc. No issue when they are negotiating […]

Jack Bechta should be praised for opening up a lot of his practice for the world to understand how he recruits and maintains his clientele (even though he recently ignored my multiple requests for information regarding the representation of coach Jim Harbaugh up until yesterday, but I will get into that story later in this article). […]
Maybe I jinxed the guy. I legitimately believed he was on freaking fire when I heard that he was not only representing C.J. Spiller, who I thought was the best running back in college football last year, but also Jimmy Clausen, Arrelious Benn, Taylor Mays, and Everson Griffen, all in one draft. Sometimes things are […]
On July 6, 2010, SportsAgentBlog.com became the first media entity to discuss the tie between agent Gary Wichard and former UNC associate head coach John Blake, after it was known that the NCAA was investigating the University of North Carolina football program regarding possible rules violations surrounding gifts/benefits received by players from sports agents. SportsBusiness Journal later found that […]
The New York Supreme Court (which for all of our non-law school readers, is actually the lowest court in the New York state court system) recently ruled in one part of Marist University’s lawsuit against Matt Brady, former men’s basketball coach at Marist, and his new employer James Madison University. Brady left Marist to coach […]
Remember when I took roughly a week of your time going on a rant about interference with contractual relations? If you need a refresher, see: Sports Agents Interfering With Contractual Relations, Digging Deeper Into The Contractual Interference Claim, and The Interference With Contractual Relations Conversation Continues. In those posts, I looked into the claim that […]
Because so much of my day currently consists of studying for the Bar Exam and doing Dynasty-related work, I often find myself having just enough time to read the headline of an interesting story, clicking “Read Later”, and eventually getting to actually reading the full story later that week. By the way, a great tool […]

A Worldwide Wes Mention
Forget about the silly rumor about William Wesley (aka Worldwide Wes) packaging John Calipari and LeBron James together to potential NBA owner suitors. I don’t put much, if any, value into that claim. Instead, watch the video below because it is an interesting view on William Wesley, who has been covered (barely) on this blog. […]
Last Thursday, CNBC’s Darren Rovell spoke with sports agent, David Falk. David Falk calls Coach K the Michael Jordan of coaching. Not many people would be able to defend such a claim, but I guess Falk can, as he repped Jordan in his playing days. Falk has looked to create long-term relationships for Coach K […]
This is a guest contribution from Dynasty intern, Scott Britton. Taking a 0-28 team to a 15 win season in less than four years is an accomplishment that is pretty hard to miss. This is something Horace Broadnax was able to do with the Savannah State University men’s basketball program. Something even more compelling was […]
