Rookie Pouncey still denying wrongdoing

Posted August 5th, 2010
Steelers first-round draft choice Maurkice Pouncey hasn't yet mastered the art of talking to the media, but the rookie sure didn't mince his words when talking about the recent accusations brought against him when he was at the University of Florida.

In his first public comments since being accused of accepting $100,000 from a representative of a sports agent while he was still at Florida, Pouncey categorically denied any wrongdoing.

Posted August 5th, 2010
TUSCALOOSA | University of Alabama sophomore safety Rod Woodson is no longer a member of the Crimson Tide football team and will transfer elsewhere to continue his career, UA coach Nick Saban said Wednesday.

Woodson (5-foot-11, 200 pounds) performed on special teams, primarily kickoff coverage, as a true freshman last season during the team’s national championship run. He did not factor into a veteran secondary in 2009.

Big 12 players stiff-arm agents with education

Posted August 5th, 2010
Yes, Oklahoma senior defensive end Jeremy Beal said he has been approached on the sly by agents and runners.

But, it’s like this, Beal said he told them: I deal with you, I could damage my boys.

“My team is my family, and anything that hurts my family I’m not going to do,” Beal said.

NCAA Sports: Will Agents Eventually Be Allowed for College Players?

Posted August 5th, 2010
Dana O'Neil of CNN has this article a couple of days ago that jumps right out and demands consideration. Despite the investigation of possible player/agent relationships at North Carolina and Alabama, the NCAA is actively mulling legislation changing their rules and allowing college players to have agents.

Marietta sports agent, wife walk away from plane crash

Posted August 5th, 2010
A Marietta sports agent and his wife walked away with only minor injuries after he crash-landed his single-engine Cessna in the Virginia mountains Saturday.

Paul Doyle, who represents the world's top decathletes, and photographer Karen Shinkins, who represented Ireland in track in the 2000 Olympics, were flying home from Virginia Tech when they hit a nasty mix of fog, rain and cloud cover.

New feeling at USC practice: Keep out

Posted August 5th, 2010
LOS ANGELES – The unbridled, more festive practice days when USC coach Pete Carroll tossed passes with his players, or when comedian Will Ferrell showed up in a stock-car driver's firesuit, or when you could just run up to an All-America linebacker to shake his hand, take his photo and get his autograph are gone.

2011 NFL Draft Prospect - Jared Jenkins

Posted July 29th, 2010
Jared Jenkins, WR, Wisconsin-Stevens Point
Wisconsin-Stevens Point is one of the top-ranked football teams in DIII heading into 2010-11, but Jared Jenkins might be better known as the third-leading scorer on the basketball team that won the DIII National Championship in 2010. On the gridiron, Jenkins is a rangy wideout who had 1200 receiving yards and 12 TDs last fall, and also punted 37 times for an impressive 42.8 yard average.

NCAA cures its apathy when it comes to slimy agents

Posted July 29th, 2010
Even before the recent investigations of Florida, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina, the NCAA cared about sports agents sullying its pristine fields of amateur glory. Mostly. Well, sort of.

Oh, who am I kidding? The NCAA hasn't always cared about this. Not even close. The NCAA cared about agents like the average person cares about a single weed in the front yard: Sees it. Doesn't like it. Wishes it weren't there. But not about to get off the couch and do anything about it.

Agent issue also a concern for Donovan

Posted July 29th, 2010
LAKE BUENA VISTA - Florida coach Billy Donovan is aware of the dangers involved when agents contact college athletes.

In 2000, Donovan dealt with a huge distraction during the Final Four when allegations surfaced that sports agent Andy Miller provided gifts to former standout sophomore Mike Miller. The allegations turned out to be false, and Florida threatened to de-certify Miller the sports agent because he broke state agency laws by failing to register with the school.

Learning to Be a True Utility Player

Posted July 29th, 2010
Richmond W. Benichak, 19, expects to graduate from New York University in 2013 with a sports management degree; this summer he is the finance intern for the Newark Bears, an independent minor league baseball team. His job, for which he is nominally paid, includes reconciling contracts with a stringent budget as well as monitoring game-night promotions like the wing-eating contest. Originally from Woodbridge, Conn., he sleeps in Queens and takes two classes at N.Y.U., but virtually lives at the ballpark in Newark.

FBS Football: Agent-Gate 2010

Posted July 29th, 2010
Throwing the word "Gate" behind subject matter gives the impression of impropriety, and in turn draws a line in the sand for those trying to decide what to make of an issue.
At SEC Football Media Day earlier this month, Alabama head coach Nick Saban described unscrupulous sports agents as "pimps." While I'm sure there are some people out there, especially among the collegiate coaching ranks, that believe that comparison gives pimps a bad name, is Saban really serious? I mean, in watching his press conference it was hard not to think that Ashton Kutcher was going to walk out at some point and let us all know we were being punked.

SEC media days news and notes: Alabama's Nick Saban rails on sports-agent tampering

Posted July 29th, 2010
HOOVER, Ala. — Alabama coach Nick Saban is still fired up about sports agents tampering with collegiate athletes.

Alabama is the fourth school in the last two weeks — and the third Southeastern Conference school — dealing with potential NCAA rules violations for improper relations with or benefits from agents.

Saban spoke earlier in the week about his hope that the NFL will be proactive to reduce tampering, and he strengthened his points at Wednesday's Southeastern Conference Media Days.
