Agents were fined because of irresponsibility for some actions

Maybe this is a thing that could intensify the problems between players and NFL Players Association.

It was reported that NFL Players Association has suspended contract adviser Marlon Sullivan, a fan of michael crabtree jersey for six months and fined him $10,000 because his employee gave money to a former college football player.

Under NFLPA regulations, contract advisers are held responsible for the actions of recruiters.

Sullivan, a fan of frank gore jersey also failed to sign a disclosure form acknowledging that he would pay the recruiter a fee to recruit the player as a client of Sullivan's firm.

The announcement Tuesday came on the same day that Sports Illustrated published an article detailing how a former sports agent paid college football players early in his career. Josh Luchs, a fan of ronnie lott jersey says in the Oct. 18 edition of the magazine that he paid more than 30 players from 1990 to 1996, including many who didn't sign with him. He says Ryan Leaf, the 1998 No. 2 overall draft pick who famously flopped in the pros, took more than $10,000, most of which the quarterback voluntarily paid back after signing with another agent. Leaf, a fan of joe montana jersey declined to comment on specific allegations. Luchs also says he paid former first-round picks Jamir Miller, a fan of jerry rice jersey and Chris Mims. Miller, a linebacker from UCLA taken 10th by the Arizona Cardinals in 1994, declined comment. Mims, a defensive lineman from Tennessee taken 23rd by the San Diego Chargers in 1992, died in 2008.

Luchs, a fan of deion sanders jersey was suspended for a year by the NFL Players Association in 2007 over the handling of a commission check. He says he's telling his story because "I don't want my career to be defined by that suspension." He said he didn't pay players while working with Gary Wichard, a fan of seattle seahawks jersey, the agent linked to the investigation of NCAA violations at North Carolina. But Luchs says Wichard and John Blake, the Tar Heels assistant who resigned amid the investigation, worked together in violation of NCAA rules in 2002.

Also, he says that while he was recruiting Ohio State's Santonio Holmes, a fan of seahawks jerseys in 2005, the receiver said he had been taking money from an agent for a couple of years. Holmes, now with the New York Jets, said the story was untrue.

These scandals maybe explore some changes within NFLPA. And it could be the fuse for players and NFL.
