From the Cincinnati Reds to the Miami Dolphins to the Dallas Mavericks, Darius Rucker is an avid sports fan who can be found watching any and all sports on his 150-inch television in his man cave in South Carolina when he’s not on tour or playing golf.
According to a report by ESPN, the super fan is now in the game . . . as a partner at MGC Sports, which represents golfers, football players and coaches.
“If I didn’t see Jay Z crushing it in the business [Roc Nation Sports] like he is, I probably wouldn’t have done it,” Darius said to ESPN. “But I think I have a lot to offer.”
Darius, who recently concluded his Good for Good Time Tour, was interested in a new challenge while looking to reduce his annual tour dates.
“The sports agent business is definitely a cutthroat business,” Darius said. “I think I have a lot to offer, coming from my upbringing to where I got to. We’re not going to be that firm that offers $100,000 marketing guarantees as loans, but I think we’re going to get the right kids.”
Currently, MGC Sports represents golfers Ben Crane, Troy Merritt, Steve Stricker and Kenny Perry, among others.
“I’m going to be really involved,” said Darius. “I will be one phone call away if a client needs some advice or needs me to be at their game.”
Sounds like Darius may need two 150-inch televisions in his man cave to keep up with the clients in his new venture.
