Saban, Meyer shift blame to unscrupulous agents

Saban used the term “pimps” to describe agents with unethical business practices. Florida coach Urban Meyer called them predators.

“I used the term ‘predator’ because they’re there,” Meyer said Wednesday during his scheduled Media Days appearance, a few hours after Saban’s. “Since my first day at Florida, I’ve never seen anything like it. We have security for one reason, and that’s to make sure that people are away from our players.”

Despite those security measures, Meyer said it’s unrealistic to completely shield players from agents that might try to tempt them.
