Can't deal with an agent prior to declaring. Period. All games are vacated that said player participated in. Even meeting with an agent is prohibited. This would be probation city. If LSU is still currently on probation it would fall under repeat offender status also.


However, the NCAA cannot say his sister cannot go work for a company.

True, but they can say that makes Ben ineligible. If not, then agents will just hire family members for the "wink wink pledge to use them when your turn pro" and funnel money to the player that way.

Think about it for football where players have to stay for 3 years. High profile players family members being hired by agents. What is an agent is also a booster of a school?
