Sports agent, David Falk, who has represented some of the biggest names in pro basketball (including Michael Jordan) and has been considered one of the major driving forces of the modern NBA, just donated $15 million to Syracuse University.
Falk and his wife Rhonda are both graduates of Syracuse and their donation is one of the largest single gifts the university has ever received.
The College of Human Ecology will in turn be renamed the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics.
This isn’t Falk’s first donation to his alma mater either. In 2008 he donated $5 million to Syracuse to start the David B. Falk Center For Sports Management.
Falk negotiated the then-highest contracts in NBA history for Patrick Ewing and Danny Ferry. He also negotiated professional sports’ first $100 million contract for Alonzo Mourning as part of an unprecedented free agency period, during which his company, FAME, changed the entire salary structure of the NBA, negotiating more than $400 million in contracts for its free agent clients in a six-day period.
In January 2007, Falk re-launched FAME, and today serves as its founder and CEO. He represented only 7 players in 2007, a far cry from the prime of his sports agent career in the 1990s, when he represented as many as 40 players at a time.
