re: Is there now a gentlemen’s agreement

Yes, and how a lot of the players now have “handlers” (often family members or “friends of the family”) who are demanding money (or more money) from coaches for their player to stay at that school and if their demands aren’t met, the handler then shops the player around to other school and when the handler gets a better “deal”, he’s gone.

JMO, but the media KNOWS this but are afraid to say anything or report on it.
