The date has been set for the next hearing in the North Carolina sport agent scandal in which 5 people have been charged with violating North Carolina’s Uniform Athlete Agent’s Act by providing benefits to former University of North Carolina student-athletes. The defendants in this case include a UNC tutor as well as Georgia-based agent […]
The winter months are supposed to bring a natural slowing down to business, but I cannot remember a time that I have ever been busier. Believe me, that is not a complaint. If the NFL season ended today, the Dolphins would make the playoffs … and Richie Incognito’s grievance hearing would still be stayed. Thanksgiving […]
I survived Costa Rica, which I count as a major win. It was an absolute blast, but it is always nice to come home to a city that you love (Miami). Tough first loss for the Miami Dolphins this past Monday, and it will be interesting to see how they rebound against the Ravens. Basketball […]
You may have noticed that Sports Agent Blog was down for about a 24-hour period this week. I apologize for the downtime and am glad that the site is back up and operational. The website crashed as I was in New York moderating a performance enhancing drug panel put on by Pure Sport, which featured […]
As I reported earlier today, Robert Quinn’s former agent Carl Carey, Jr. is suing Quinn, Quinn’s Business Manager, Impact Sports Football, LLC, and two of Impact Sports’ agents based on what I deem to be only two counts worth litigating – 1) tortious interference with contract and conspiracy; and 2) breach of contract. But the Robert Quinn drama […]
On July 1, 2011, Michael McAdoo filed a Complaint in North Carolina against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill along with its Chancellor, H. Holden Thorp, and the NCAA. McAdoo was a football player at UNC until the NCAA ruled that he was permanently ineligible to perform in intercollegiate athletics based on McAdoo’s alleged receipt of $110 in improper […]

On September 16, 2010, I researched and provided some facts regarding Chris Hawkins’ background. He was responsible for purchasing A.J. Green’s jersey for $1,000, which set the Georgia wide-receiver back four games at the beginning of the 2010 season. But that’s not the end of his connections to student-athletes. Hawkins played college ball at the […]
