275 phone calls and Texts but, Rodgers is not representing Cam..

Wow....

just like all the other agents. He wanted to broker the deal and take his cut. If State would have paid, would Cam have received some of the $$$ ... of course. Therefore, he WAS an agent for Cam. The only way that he wasn't an agent was if Rodgers planned to keep the entire $180,000. The NCAA can't keep their lies (on a case by case basis)straight.

The most obvious point is Rodgers wasn't representing State like Auburn stated. If he was representing State, why did he try to extort State for $180K but want him to go to Auburn for free (wink, wink)?
If he was representing State, why has he never encourage anyone else to attend State including his own Division 1 athlete son? I'm sure that State could also supply his contributions or lack thereof to State and/or the Bulldog Club.

You have to be acting on the authority of the principal. If Cam truly did not even know what Rogers was doing, then he could not possibly have been acting on Cam's authority and could not be Cam's agent.

It doesn't matter whether Cecil was going to later give Cam a cut of the money. You cannot become an agent after the deal is done.

Now, Rogers was clearly acting as an agent for Cecil, and one could easily argue that Cam gave Cecil authority to act on his behalf, but it is hard to prove that Cam gave Cecil the authority to break NCAA rules on Cam's behalf.

For instance, Rogers was not an agent and did not solicit from any school other than MSU, right?

On page 23, we learn that there were 17 calls between Rogers and Josh Heupel (OU) between august 2009 and December 2009. Heupel says that the calls were in reference to Cam, but that Rogers "Never spoke to him about Cam's athletic ability.".

Well what the hell were they talking about??

I have two words for our coaches and boosters- prepaid cellphones. I bet Trooper knows what a tracfone is good for.

From those documents, it appears the NCAA was totally focused on the agency rules, and was not considering a general ethics violation for seeking payment.
