Reply to "The role of the advisor for the college student"

TPM, I think you have the nomenclature reversed. The "agent" you have in high school must be called an "advisor".

We do joke about the advisor’s role during the high school draft, but I found the process to be above board and conducted in a manner I would consider appropriate for a normal business transaction.
As far as an agents role during the college/draft process; it really becomes a moot point once a player is draft eligible in college as to what an agent does during the process. The NCAA is focused on trying to protect the student/athlete during his transition from high school to college. What are they going to tell the 21 year old junior in college? “If your agent speaks to a representative of MLB on your behalf you will be ineligible next year?” ....If he has an agent the odds are very good he’s not going to be there anyway.
