This past Saturday, the slate of college football games included a few conference championship games and a couple of final regular season games. The season is wrapped up for college football programs, the only matches left to play being the bowl games. Plenty of NCAA programs have already begun to look to next year and […]
DE 1. Brian Orakpo (Sr./ Texas) -He’s a physical freak, has the strength to overpower lineman and the speed to go around them. May be the best defensive player in the country. He also fits the mold of a great outside pass rusher in a 3-4 system. 2. Michael Johnson (Sr./ Georgia Tech) -At 6’7 […]

A week ago, I reported on some bad news out of Newport News after Raymond Lee Savage Jr., CEO and President of Savage Sports Management, was arrested and taken into custody for allegedly having a part in the illegal contact of former University of Alabama wide-receiver, Tyrone Prothro, while he was in college and the […]
Jason Millman of HartfordBusiness.com, wrote an interesting article this past week regarding Robinson and Cole’s plan to pursue a sports business practice. I wrote an article a few weeks back on this story, and it seems that as the University of Connecticut’s football team continues to excel, the sports agent business in Connecticut has received […]
