Making friends along the way

I have to admit it takes a special kind of talent to alienate both sides of a commitment.  Attorney Michael W. Caspino with Forward Counsel in Newport Beach, Calif. seems to have what it takes in that regard, in spades.  He’s got Miami running away from him, even though they were the winners in the Rashada Sweepstakes, but he didn’t stop there.

Shot.

“Florida is the most dysfunctional collective in all of college football,” Caspino said. “I plan on steering my clients away from them. From my standpoint, I never ever want to deal with them again. If it weren’t for the collective that’s completely dysfunctional at Florida, he probably would have been there.”

Chaser.

I doubt they give a rat’s ass about Rashada’s eligibility, but Florida’s?  That’s a different story.

This one’s starting to look like a slam dunk for a school getting turned in to NCAA enforcement.  Also, can you issue a show cause to an NIL lawyer?  Asking for a friend…

  1. An agent’s job is to shop their client for the best deal. The NCAA and now State Lege’s should have recognized the need to license these guys and concede the deals we’re going to be on behalf of specific institutions. As soon as the States see an opportunity to tax and charge fees for this activity there will be “reform”.

    Perhaps it is unsurprising that this same lawyer is the guy who negotiated the deal to get the QB to go to Tennessee out of California.

    It’s a two-for-one deal for NCAA Violations!

    Hold on. I’m being told by gator message boards that they didn’t really want Rashada anyway because [insert obscure cherry picked high school stat here].

    Caspino sounds like the Alan Grayson of sports agents.
