case is the apparent involvement of an agent. Not saying they shouldn’t have agents, but agents are typically very selfish and looking out just for themselves and the $.

In professional sports it even can take a bad turn with long holdouts, etc. but if it was the agent and not the player really pushing the ‘hold out’ in this case that will be a very very bad signal for collegiate sports. With how many collegiate athletes there are and how exploitable that population can be, this could really take a turn for the worst. It wasn’t too long ago that a football player deciding to not play in a bowl game was unheard of and scrutinized and now it’s almost expected for some.
