I graduated in may 2009 with a BS in CRJ, I am currently in grad school majoring in sports management and also taking classes to become certified as a coach & attending law school in fall of 2011. Iam working on networking and getting my name exposed. My web site is www.sydneysports.vpweb.com, check it out if you get time. I going to apply for an intern at a agency while I am in school, but once i receive my law degree I would like to be established and ready to start my own firm. I've made business card with my company logo, web sites, and got it all copy written. Do you know of anything else I could do to help prepare myself for the future? Such as networking idea's, or other ways to get my name out there.I ask you this, due to the fact we are around the same age, and seems as if we have the same passion.

They will provide insight as to where you need to register. My best answer is to read up on the state laws in the areas that you think may be applicable.

I looked at the statute you referenced and noticed that the athlete agent disclosure form must be signed by the athlete agent. Perhaps you create a document, sign it, and upload it as a picture on your facebook page. Then, when you contact any player, you send a link to that image in conjunction with your message. The main point of my response is that we have no clue how the rules an regulations will change face with the presence of these social networks. They have not changed with the times and many questions remain. Thus far, the NCAA, federal, and state agencies have stayed away from litigating any matters concerning recruitment using social networks like facebook. I believe that at some point, we will begin to see some sort of rules formulated, which will give everyone a better idea of what is proper and what is a violation of the law as it stands.

I thought of a question and would like your thoughts: In Washington states version of the UAAA it states, "(2) An athlete agent may not intentionally: (a) Initiate contact with a student-athlete unless providing the student-athlete with the athlete agent disclosure form as provided in RCW 19.225.030;" When taking this clause in conjunction with recruiting athletes on facebook, is it possible to reconcile the two? Can we just put some type of UAAA disclaimer on our facebook page? Thoughts? Darren,
