Teague Egan-USC Student and Agent

TUESDAY
Look up the word "douchebag" in the dictionary and you will land on Teague Egan.

That is him, on the left. What? You wouldn't choose this kid to represent you in your first NFL contract negotiation?

Direct from the LA Times...

Meet Teague Egan, noted golf cart chauffeur, and the country's first certified NFL student agent, well meaning, he says, but with the potential to destroy USC's hopes of recovering from NCAA sanctions. A budding entrepreneur, Egan is probably known best in USC circles for not knowing the rules as a certified NFL agent, resulting in the one-game suspension of Dillon Baxter. His goal now is to represent four to six of his friends, who also happen to be USC football players, in the upcoming NFL draft — signing them as clients as soon as Sunday.

He says he has no written agreement or understanding with any of the football players, which would be an NCAA violation. But he knows his friends, he says, and he knows it will happen. "Like [NFL agent] Drew Rosenhaus who represented every Miami kid after going to school at Miami," he says. "I intend to represent every USC kid."

Dillon Baxter Lacks Intelligence

MONDAY
As you can see by reading this letter of apology,
Dillon Baxter has a difficult time thinking things through before acting.

Admittedly, he is an 18-year-old freshman. Who didn't act stupid when they were that age? If you raised your hand, you are lying. To me. To yourself.

The difference is Baxter represents the University and the football team as a student athlete. And not just any athlete. One of the best on the team. What is bizarre is trying to understand the motive behind such actions. Was he not getting enough love from the coaching staff? His teammates?
