New Agent Law
Calif. governor Jerry Brown signed a bill earlier this week that ``protects student athletes and requires the courts to suspend or revoke the business privileges of an athlete agent convicted of violating the Miller-Ayala Athlete Agents Act,'' according to state senator Kevin de Leon, who sponsored the measure.
USC supported the bill.
``USC is pleased with the signing of Senator De León's SB 238 into law," said David M. Roberts, USC vice president of compliance. ``We participated in the public hearings on the legislation and advocated for stronger penalties for violations of California's current agent-related Miller Ayala Act involving student-athletes.
``The suspension/revocation of privileges and the disgorgement of consideration penalty provisions should provide additional teeth to the current law and help ensure compliance with the Act by sports agents in California.''

"the Classy Cadre fully supports the passing of SB 238, also known as "Reggie's Law"!!
It is our hope that this law will protect naive sports agents from the predatory antics of the Southern Cal trOXans!! fine young aspiring sports agents like Rodney Guillory and Lloyd Lake have had their careers destroyed the money grubbing culture of Southern Cal trXOans!! It is the sincere hope of the Cadre that this law, together with the back breaking sanctions justly imposed by the NCAA (thanks for the gumball, Missy!!) will prevent the disgrace visited upon the members of the then-Pac10 from occurring in the future!!
AUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
