I recently read an article that said a former pro player has formed an agency and the business model goes something like this:

Identify future pro players and give them money up front, say 1M a year, and they must agree to pay it back, plus a lot more, from future earnings. However, they don’t owe the money back if they don’t make it in the pros or decide to sell cars for a living.

I’ll find out more.

Either Real Sports or 60 Minutes (don't remember which) did a story about this, last year I think.

The story made it sound like it was a really good deal for all parties.

Of course, as they say "the devil is in the details".

I think it will be like a technology private equity fund. Investors throw money into the hat and somebody is deciding who has the brightest futures. Maybe they get 2 or 3 out of 10 players that are successful.
