Partnering with the PA's of the NFL and NBA in order to limit contact between agents and amateur athletes. This would include eliminating ground work being laid with high school kids and "runners" leading college players to specific agents.
Establish flat procedural guidelines for when, where and how often agents can contact players once they decide to enter the draft. Similar to high school athletes concerning recruiting dead periods and limited number of contacts and the method of contacts including who can call who.
With rules comes rule breakers and in order to make a situation stand up the NFL-PA and the NBA-PA would have to be fully supportive in their backing of the NCAA. Possible suspension of acquiring new clients, fines for agents contacting players during dead periods and revocation of licensing for repeat offenders would give the NCAA ruling body the teeth it needs to clean up sports.
I want sports to be clean, devoid of agents and NCAA infractions, my only problem is that the NCAA is crucifying schools, players and coaches when the truly evil players are the agents that escape unscathed. The kids are more victims than criminals or cheaters, they get lured into a lifestyle by people who they believe care about their well-being. Then they wake up one day and realize people like Guillory just latch on to the OJ Mayo's of the world for a free ride.
I'll leave you with my final thought, isn't the guy [BDA] supplying drugs far more heinous and culpable than the people he seduces into using them [OJ Mayo, Tim Floyd].
