50 States in 50* Days - North Carolina Athlete Agent Regulation

By special request, North Carolina leaps ahead of the list in the 50 States in 50* Days series. North Carolina is a Uniform Athlete Agent Act state.

The Athlete Agent Registration Office within the Department of the Secretary of State is responsible for the administration of the North Carolina Uniform Athlete Agent Act.

The Office provides a useful FAQ for athlete agents and every conceivable form that an agent could want (and one that they might not want to see with their name on it) .

The eleven page registration form is available online and registration will set you back $200. Luckily, the renewal application is only four pages, but you still have to pay $200.

An Athlete Agent Complaint Form is available on the Office's website. In addition to its intended use , the four-page complaint form also provides a good checklist for agents (and aspiring agents) on behaviors to avoid in their practice.

Finally, the Athlete Agent Registration Office also provides a handy listing of registered athlete agents.

The University of North Carolina's Athletic Department requires athlete agents to register annually by filling out a registration form or renewal form. North Carolina State also requires athlete agents to fill out a registration form.

Who really knows which state will be next or when the next post will happen, but thanks for reading and stay tuned...
