"Three Years and $500,000 Short"

Friday May 2, 2008
Remember that headline when the next big college basketball scandal breaks.

Super-agent David Falk -- the matchmaker who connected Michael Jordan and Nike -- talked to CNBC's Darren Rovell about the state of the sports agent business. The most ominous passage:

I wanted to meet a college player who I really enjoyed watching this year. So I asked a friend of mine, who is a very powerful man in the game, to introduce me to him. And he said, "I'd like to help but I can't." And when I asked why. He said, "You are three years and $500,000 short."
(I tip my hat to Henry Abbott at True Hoop for the link.)

Who do you suppose Falk is talking about? I have no specific information. But when I hear "very powerful man in the game," I can't help but think he might be talking about William Wesley...
