Southern University Law Center hosting first-of-its-kind boot camp to push more Black students to become sports agents
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - There’s a new push to create more diversity in the sports agent industry.
The Southern University Law Center, in partnership with Diverse Representation, are hosting its inaugural Sports Agent Bootcamp. The first-of-its-kind program will take place Feb. 4-5.
Organizers say there are simply not enough Black sports agents.
“You talk about the NBA, you talk about the NFL, these are leagues dominated by Black players,” said Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Diverse Representation Jaia Thomas. “But when you look at people behind the scenes, the owners, the agents, the attorneys, they’re still dominated by white men. So, there’s still a lot of work to be done when it comes to diversifying the space behind the scenes, not just on the court or on the field.”
