Savage Sports Management LogoRaymond Lee Savage Jr., CEO and President of Savage Sports Management, was arrested and taken into custody for allegedly having a part in the illegal contact of former University of Alabama wide-receiver, Tyrone Prothro, while he was in college and the lack of adhering to state registration requirements by one of Savage’s employees.  Savage  plead not guilty to both charges, but turned himself in to authorities back in October of last year.

The state of Alabama presented two charges against Savage: 1) Not registering as an athlete-agent in Alabama (felony), and 2) Initiating contact with a student-athlete (misdemeanor).  Some good news for Savage Jr. is that the misdemeanor charge has been dropped by the state.  The bad news is that it’s the charge that would not have resulted in a hefty fine or jail time.  Savage Jr. and his lawyers must still fight the felony charge, which will be a tough battle to win.

    what about representing an international athlete? what are the guidelines for that? also, is there a fee one must pay to register with the UAAA? Thanks for any information.

      Depends on the sport. For instance, to represent a basketball player
      overseas, one should be FIBA certified. That is an association, not a
      statutory regulation. Also UAAA is just a uniform act that has been
      adopted by 38 states. In those states, the fees vary.
