ATLANTA — North Carolina Coach Butch Davis has been under scrutiny for days for a scandal involving academics and agents that has rocked his program.
Of course, it is the wealth of players and their agents that has expanded beyond all recognition in the past two decades, not pitch minutes.
Even though N.C.A.A. rules forbid players to have agents, that has not stopped a host of would-be agents from trying with Selby.
The Jets will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, another undefeated team, while the Giants confront the Washington Redskins, a club rich in high-priced free agents that has played unevenly so far.
West Virginia filed the lawsuit, and Gov. Joe Manchin issued a six-paragraph statement saying that Rodriguez had become a "victim of a college coaching system driven by high-priced agents that has turned those dreams into just another back-room business deal".
The sale of Michael Ovitz's ailing Artists Management Group to a lesser-known company called the Firm comes at a time of turmoil and uncertainty among managers and agents that has not been seen since Hollywood was making movies like "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone With the Wind".
