Sport agents and financial planners win because they now have legal, unfettered access to 18 year olds in the hopes of 10+ year commissions as professionals. You want Kirby kissing their asses because that is how the AAU game is played?

If you want to explore an actual potential downside to all this, this is it. The player-coach-agent dynamic just took a step in a new direction and coaches aren’t going to be happy about the lack of control they will have over draft eligible players as a result.

Too, there’s going to be some ugly mental health fall out for guys who lose sponsorships due to a bad season, poor performance, injury, etc as this develops.
