Agents and Advisors


A student-athlete may not agree verbally or in writing to be represented by an athlete-agent in the present or in the future for the purpose of marketing the student-athlete’s athletic ability or reputation. If a student-athlete enters into such an agreement, they will be ineligible for intercollegiate athletics competition.

Further, a student-athlete may not accept transportation or any other benefit from an athlete-agent. As a student-athlete, this prohibition applies to you as well as your relatives and/or friends. The term “agent” includes actual agents, “runners” (individuals who befriend student-athletes and frequently distribute impermissible benefits) and financial advisors.

In accordance with State of Texas law, athlete-agents, who are registered with the Texas Secretary of State, will be provided a period of time each year to schedule an on-campus meeting with student-athletes at Texas State.
