A league source tells us that authorities in South Carolina are expected to take action against some big-time NFL agents for failing to register with the state before recruiting players attending college there.
The primary sources of potential NFL players in South Carolina are Clemson and the University of South Carolina.
This link suggests that the penalty for failure to register under South Carolina is a misdemeanor with a $10,000 fine and up to three years in jail; however, the source says that the fines are expected to be increased to $100,000. (Frankly, we'd be more concerned about the three years in jail.) We're not yet aware of the names of any agents who have been targeted, and we don't know whether any specific enforcement action has commenced.
