[QUOTE="TownesVanZandt_rivals, post: 131378158, member: 1606648"] Advising and signing a contract are two different things. Because of money involved in college sports you see a lot of players being advised out of high school. You can't sign a contract until you end your eligibility. If my son was a 5 star player... Most likely we would have someone advising him of his choices and the best options he has to maximize his potential. More than that who do you think is advising these players to skip the season. This is coming straight from the agent's mouth In actual CFB players can talk with agents all they want. Just as long as they aren't entering into a contract with them.
