Message: [QUOTE="73CAV, post: 2509353, member: 3916"] If a parent, or guardian, accepts money to insure that their child, or ward, commits to a specific school, I think that that qualifies the parent as an agent. I think this is true even if the recruit had no knowledge of the exchange of money. If the parent takes the money, and uses his, or her, influence to get the player to sign the LOI, then they have acted as an agent, albeit unknown to the recruit. At that point, if the prospect loses his amateur status, and if he had no knowledge of the transaction, I imagine that he might be able to seek damages from his parent(s) in court. Just one such case might serve as an example/warning for others. Regardless, it is the exchange of money that defines this situation. [/QUOTE]
