Your point is well taken, but name me a professional negotiator that has had schools get into losing scholarships. It's true that teams have negotiators on the management side, but they are the ones forking over the dollars aren't they....it is the owners money and the players are working for that owner.
Who needs an agent in the real world of work/business? Although management still has negotiators, no I still say the issue with sports is more derived from the use of agents. I suppose unions could be considered in the area of agents, and IMO unions offer nothing but problems as well.
I think your ideas are more applicable to simple situations. For a person filling gas cans or digging post holes, negotiating directly with an Owner might be possible. Where complex legal matters or contracts are involved however, it is best to involve experts.
