Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal reported on Monday that NFL agent Michael Huyghue has been named the first Commissioner of the UFL, a new pro football league that could begin playing games as early as 2008.

This means that Huyghue will have to stop serving as an NFL player agent, given NFLPA rules preventing certified contract advisers from "[h]olding or seeking to hold, either directly or indirectly, a financial interest in any professional football club or in any other business entity when such investment could create an actual conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest in the representation of NFL players." And Huyghue realizes that he can no longer be involved in the "day-to-day operations of his sports agency."
