Abstract
In Agents of Opportunity, Kenneth L. Shropshire examines the history of the sports-agent industry, the development of college sports, and the rules and laws that have developed to regulate them. He also offers recommendations for reform, including increasing compensation to college athletes, stiffening licensing requirements for sports agents, allowing underclassmen to be drafted by professional teams without loosing their ametuer status if they decide not to remain in college. - from Amazon
