Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said he won't ban NFL scouts from practices as a way of combating unscrupulous agents, adding that he would tackle the issue by educating his players.
"Security for your football team is very important, but I don't
believe that banning the NFL scouts from your team is going to help
with the agent problem," Kelly said Friday.
Alabama coach Nick Saban, who participated this week along with
several other high-profile college coaches in a conference call
with the NFL to discuss unscrupulous agents, said he has
temporarily blocked access to Crimson Tide practices for NFL
scouts.
Saban hinted earlier this summer that was a possibility because
of the agent issue. He also said access would be reopened sometime
after Aug. 25.
