It's all like Game of Thrones, except Sexton controls the Lannisters AND the Dragons.

Jimmy is just a tool used by coaches. He does nothing without their approval first.

I remember Dungeons and Dragons. This whole Game of Thrones thing is beyond me.

One good analogy about that...a comedian once said "Fantasy Football is Dungeons and Dragons for people who used to make fun of the kids who played Dungeons and Dragons". I think he nailed it.

I'm with you. My best guess from the context is maybe it was like when Eric Bischoff was working for WCW but was rollin with the NWO.

I really don't get why people hate on this guy for being great at his job.

It's simple to stop this. When you feel like an agent is playing you, tell him to go get fricked. Your coach is under contract and he wants to go to University of X for two more million a year then there's the fricking door.

He's manipulating the marketplace and costing YOU more money in terms of ticket prices.

Guess I've spent too much time on the M/TV board. Game of Thrones (only the biggest televison show in the world) is eseentislly about multiple royal families conspiring and fighting each other for power of the continent which they all live.

One family has dragons (nuclear weapons of the day) and one family (the Lannisters) have the throne and all the money.

Sexton has both... all the power and all the nukes.

He's like the shadow-commissioner of the SEC with all the coaches he represents. He's got universities jumping through hoops annually.

I hope you actually mean THE COACHES manipulate the marketplace and all that jazz, Sexton is the AGENT employed by them and owes fiduciary duties TO THEM. By the results and all his commissions from those coaches’ massive guaranteed contracts, I think he’s a master at his profession, represents his pro athletes quite well too. See Reggie White 1993 Green Bay FA.
