What is the description of the job for a sports agent?

There are numerous colleges across the U.S. that offer degrees in sports management. NYU is one that I know of, but it is expensive. I would guess that with a general business degree and an opportunity to work for and learn from a professional sports agent, you could get into the field. You could also just do it it with charisma, smarts, and moxie, if you can find some quality athletes who will trust you, and if you have acquired the skills and knowledge to serve their interests. Hey diffrent person, I have read i think on wikipedia that you may need a degree in law to understand the contracts and stuff like that.
