9A.7  Agent contract.

1.  An agent contract to be entered into by a registered athlete agent and a student athlete who has not previously signed a contract of employment with a professional sports team shall be on a form approved by the secretary of state. Approval of the form shall not be withheld unless the proposed form is unfair, unjust, or oppressive to the student athlete. If the form of the contract is in compliance with any players association form contract, the contract shall be approved by the secretary of state.

2.  The agent contract shall have printed on the face of the contract in bold print the following: "The athlete agent is registered with the secretary of state. Registration does not imply approval or endorsement by the secretary of state of the specific terms and conditions of this contract or competence of the athlete agent. You have the right to terminate this contract within five calendar days after it is signed. You may jeopardize your standing as a student athlete by entering into this contract under the rules for eligibility established by or adhered to by your institution of higher education."

3.  A registered athlete agent shall file with the secretary of state a schedule of fees chargeable and collectible from a student athlete who has not previously signed a contract of employment with a professional sports team and shall file a description of the various professional services to be rendered in return for each fee. The athlete agent may impose charges only in accordance with the fee schedule. Changes in the fee schedule may be made from time to time, except that a change shall not become effective until the seventh day after the date the change is filed with the secretary of state.
