The NCAA requires that a player selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft pay his advisor at his or her normal rate for such services if the player hopes to maintain his eligibility at an NCAA school. Thus, if Troy Caradonna of SFX was to follow that rule, which many people say goes ignored […]

I want to start this article by stressing that the point of this article has nothing to do with getting any player in trouble. The reason that I wrote this post is to once again try to point out how ludicrous the NCAA’s no-agent rule continues to be. It was struck down by a court […]
First Round Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals) – Boras Corp. – Interesting to note that Bud Selig referred to Harper as an outfielder even though he has played mostly catcher his entire life. Get this kid on the fast track through the Minors. Jameson Tallion (Pittsburgh Pirates) – Hendricks Sports Management – Big high school arm […]
The weather has been beautiful this past week. I have been soaking up the sun and hitting the courts, trying to get my tennis game back to what it once was. Carl Krauser made it to New Zealand and is ready to put in some great work for the Waikato Pistons. Many of our Minor […]
The signing deadline for players drafted in the 2009 MLB Rule 4 Draft is less than two weeks away. In fact, players and their advisors have 12 more days to come to agreement with MLB organizations. If a deal is not struck by midnight of August 17th, that player will either return to college, go […]
While Augusta is my favorite major to watch, and while I consider the U.S. Open to be the toughest major to actually win, there is something about The British Open that makes it the most special of the four. Maybe it’s because it is golf’s oldest championship. Maybe it’s because it’s fun to wake up […]

The Kansas Jayhawks and the Memphis Tigers are set to tip off the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship tonight at 9:21PM EST, and until that time, many newspapers and blogs will be writing about the two teams and their players, and contemplating which team that wears the color blue will come out victorious. One common […]
Simply the BEST
I have long been following the rapid increase of Blue Equity‘s share of the Sports & Entertainment pie. I have had the unique opportunity of meeting Donald Dell and speaking to chairman Jonathan Blue and COO Mike Principe in the past. That being said, I am very happy for the entire company on the unveiling […]
The Primary Cut
SFX meets PETA It’s a good thing for Tripp Isenhour that we no longer run a ‘Nightmare Clients Of the Week’ column anymore. As you’ve probably already read, Isenhour, represented by John Mascatello and SFX Golf, faces misdemeanor criminal charges (up to 14 months in prison and $5,000, if convicted, per government sources) for his […]
