How do sports agents differ from entertainment agents or managers?
What will be an ideal response?
Sports agents are regulated much differently than talent agents, personal managers, and other intermediaries in entertainment. Beginning in the 1980s, states began to regulate sports agent activity specifically with regard to the recruiting of student-athletes as clients at colleges and universities around the country who had remaining eligibility to participate. The purpose was to avoid sanctions from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In order to avoid confusion among the various state laws, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) drafted a model act (2000) for states to adopt known as the Uniform Athlete Agents Act (UAAA). The recently enacted federal Sports Agent and Responsibility Trust Act (SPARTA) provides some of the protections of the UAAA, but is not as comprehensive. SPARTA seeks to prevent agents from luring student-athletes into signing agency contracts with valuable gifts and false or misleading information by subjecting them to FTC regulation.
