NEW YORK (AP) – NFL players union head DeMaurice Smith has held a conference call with agents to discuss possibly changing the certification process and how agents are disciplined for violating rules.
Several people familiar with Tuesday’s call tell The Associated Press that Smith expressed interest in reviewing how agents are approved by the NFLPA, and what the qualifications should be to become a pro football agent. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the call.
The call comes 11 days after agent Gary Wichard was suspended for nine months by the union for his role in a recruiting scandal involving the University of North Carolina.
