The agent epidemic has officially derailed all the excitement of the upcoming football season. There is no reason for this madness, the NCAA should get with the coaches association and workout an agreement to bring the agents together with the student athletes in a controlled and monitored environment. This is a win win situation and seriously needs to be explored. Whatever the move it must be done quickly to minimize the damage before the first game is played so the money can be made........
Speaking of money, would it be so bad to give the student athletes a buck here or there. The scholarship is the ultimate prize, but a few bucks for the weekends off of jersey sales and such could be kicked their way. Let's be honest about this, a serious profit is made and I do believe this may have a positive impact and begin to limit the number of off the field incidents that plague many campuses right now. Think about it and it does make sense!!
This week during SEC Media Day the nation was introduced to Vandy's new head coach, Robbie Caldwell. This guy is right out of central casting for a SEC coach, the southern roots, twang, and charming laid back demeanor. He is a gem, a sportswriters dream, and I truly hope he is successful because outwardly he is the type of man that's easy to root for. If he can win 6 games and get to a bowl I sure as heck hope I'm lucky enough to see his press conference!!
