    I do not think that’s the only problem. The precedent is already set, other agents can get their guys the same deals.

    I also don’t know why you get the impression no NFL coaches have representation. The sub 100k salary guys may only hire an attorney to look over the contracts, but anyone with a decent salary has an agent or at least an attorney on retainer to negotiate for them, which is the same thing.

    Agreed. I think we will see more and more players enter the portal each year to learn (and possibly take) their market value until some kind of control is put on it. Personally, I believe it will be unable to change considering the court rulings until the players are employees, there is a union, a bargaining agreement, and they are under a multiple year contract to the institution. Also, personally, that is when I completely check-out. We already have an NFL, don't need another, and colleges and universities have no business running a for-profit sport that will suck up more revenue than it will produce.
