Good take Jason

First the criteria

Quality of athletes in each division
Track record and respectability of division’s agents
Recent success in NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL drafts
Quality of overall agency leadership
Recent growth, acquisitions and startups
Future growth potential
Quality of services provided by each division
Number of athletes in each division
Number of divisions
Quantity of athletes lost to other agencies

I don’t why anyone would have a problem with the rankings unless you knew of an agency that was left out but excelled in the criteria given.

That being said…
Jason you were definitely heavy on the QUALITATIVE..lol

The number 2 and 3 categories seem to cancel each other out…any thoughts?

Seriously, the comments here make me laugh. Magazines like Forbes and Sports Business Journal do rankings all the time. Everyone understands they’re just subjective opinions. No one cares really or takes them personally. They’re interesting, for what they’re worth, and are meant only to spur discussion and debate. No one is losing sleep at night, especially agents or agencies, because they didn’t crack Mr. Belzer’s Top 10. Get real…
