Anyone considered why it is such a bad thing to allow student athletes to promote goods or services to the private sector? Perhaps the rules are what need changing to reflect reality rather than allow anyone else in the community to do it, chaining student athletes to archaic rules before letting them loose in professional sports without any experience in how to handle it. Sort of like restrictive parents who wonder what happened to their little angel when they went to college and turned into an alcoholic gambler.

... around the football complex and yet there are still cases like the one involving the whack jobs from SWATS. From shooing away memorabilia hounds in the players' parking lot at the facility to renegade agents to cease and desist orders for a local suit shop owner, UA compliance wishes an overzealous booster was all it had to worry about these days.
What's next, a rogue Noni juice distributor camped out at the team hotel in Atlanta next Labor Day weekend?
Next to coaching varsity high school athletics (which parents have reduced to nothing more than rec ball in too many instances), you couldn't pay me enough to work in compliance at a place like UA.

I can only imagine what it's like in that sport up there. Our AD likes me because I've already told two parents to either be supportive of the team or stay away. I can say what he and the coaches can't. To his credit, one of the two I confronted has reformed and is now a positive presence for our team. There's no hope for the other one and, sadly, her child has D-I ability/measurables but you can already see where the negativity coming from her parents is affecting her effort/coachability.
That's not to say I agree with everything our coach does. I think with more structure and defined expectations for players and parents, he wouldn't have to deal with a lot of this crap, which, in turn, would allow for the girls to accomplish more as A TEAM. At the appropriate time (after the season), I'll discuss that with him in a civil manner (unlike the parent who went after his wife after a loss).
