Compliance: Agents
| UC Riverside require agents (and individuals acting as agents) to register themselves with both the Secretary of State and University prior to contacting any student-athlete. Contact is defined in broad based terms and includes Facebook friending. Contact of any type with a student-athlete who is not eligible to enter into a professional sports contract is prohibited. For example, any contact by agents (or their associates, runners, etc.) with any UC Riverside baseball student-athlete who has not completed his junior season of baseball would be a violation of the UC Riverside Agent policy. Any conduct contrary to the parameters of state law and/or university policy may subject you to both criminal and civil penalty. If you have any questions, please contact the Athletics Compliance Department at (951) 827-5021. Agents seeking to represent UC Riverside student-athletes in their future professional activities and want to participate in our agent education program must agree to the conditions of this policy, apply for registration and receive approval from the UC Riverside Athletics Compliance Department.
