Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

Hector Clavijo III’s side hustle as an “NFL and NCAA coaches’ agent” and “Director of Coaches” at Agency 1 Sports Group didn’t quite work out. He’s not a licensed sports agent, but he still managed to get $7,000 from a player. Talk about a creative way to supplement a coaching salary.

Clavijo’s excuse for the suspension? He’s “too nice.” Yeah, that’s it. Being too nice got him into this mess.

Lesson learned: if you’re going to be a phony agent, at least have a better excuse than that.

And the award for most creative way to get suspended goes to… Hector Clavijo III!

When “being too nice” becomes a crime, you know you’ve reached a new level of coaching.
