Message: [QUOTE="The Funster, post: 2349772, member: 831"] For sure, the AAU itself isn't bad but there are obviously rogue components. And while the AAU does have an agent policy it does distance itself from members and clubs at the local level too. From the AAU codebook: [URL]http://image.aausports.org/codebook/national_policies.pdf[/URL] [B] G. Sport Agents, Agencies and Representatives. [/B] Any person who is a registered sports agent or a representative or employee of a sports agent or agency, or any person who has received compensation or consideration of any kind directly or indirectly from a sports agent or agency, is prohibited from involvement in the AAU throughout the entire fiscal year (September 1 through August 31) during which any such compensation or consideration is received except as specifically set out herein. Violation of this policy may subject a club and/or athletes affiliated with the agent to penalties set out in the Code. An agent, employee or representative of an agent may apply in writing to the AAU for an exception to this policy. If, in the sole discretion of the AAU, it is determined that the interests [B]NATIONAL POLICIES [/B]45 of the AAU are best served, an exception may be granted. The exception may only be granted by the Chairman of the Board of Review. The exception must be in writing and is subject to reconsideration at any time and may be revoked by the Board of Review Chair at his sole discretion. [B]H. Agency. [/B]Membership in the AAU does not create an agency relationship. The authority of any member providing services to the AAU is limited to the terms of the agreement for services. The AAU does not organize clubs, or teams, and does not select coaches or club managers. Members shall not represent themselves to be agents of the AAU without specific written authorization from the National AAU. Acts of an AAU member not related to a licensed AAU event are not authorized by the AAU and therefore no agency relationship is created thereby. [/QUOTE]
