Laws restricting improper agent contact with NCAA athletes seen as ineffective

In the past decade, two laws have been created to clarify what is considered permissible contact between player agents and collegiate student-athletes and to arm individual states and educational institutions with legal means to seek recourse against violators.
However, the five NCAA investigations that have been initiated in little more than a week — in addition to a high-profile probe involving the Southern California athletic department that concluded in June — have brought into question how those laws are being used.
