Sports Agents' Roles and Likely Influence of Legal Changes
[ send me this paper ]
A 23 page paper discussing what sports agents do and some of the questionable practices they use in doing it. Though there are only 1,800 players in the NFL, there are 900 registered agents, most of whom have no one to represent. The competition between them is intense, and many choose not to adhere to NCAA and other regulations. Sports agents appear to know where to draw the line for themselves, where further breach of regulations and ethics will begin to negatively affect their incomes and potential incomes in the future. With the ability that agents currently have to circumvent existing regulations, it is likely that those determined to be unscrupulous would not long be deterred by weightier restrictions that do not also change the system by which agents operate.

Strategic Plan for an Intercollegiate Athletic Program
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper outlining a plan to promote the "other" collegiate sports. The "big three" - football, basketball and baseball - gain most of the attention given collegiate sports, with baseball trailing at a significant distance. There are nearly two dozen other intercollegiate sports recognized and regulated by the NCAA, however, and most receive far less attention from local fans and media. Increasing budgetary constraints result in increased financial pressures on these other sports, and the five-year plan presented here addresses ways to increase community awareness of and support for these sports. The primary approach is a "grass roots" effort in which players and coaches visit local public and private schools, inviting students to attend their games. Tickets are required but will be freely given for two years, becoming more scarce in subsequent years so that competitions will be generating gate receipts and the teams will be contributing to their own financial support.
