According to NFL rules, only NFLPA-certified agents can be involved in the recruiting process. Jay-Z does not have this certification as he only owns Roc Nation while having agents handle the recruitment process. <\/p>\n<p>So, what happened in this particular case? Smith&#8217;s recruitment was handled by Roc Nation agent Kim Miale, but the NFL investigation suggests that Jay-Z was directly involved in the recruiting process. For one, an Instagram photo showed Jay-Z and Smith together before it was announced that Smith had signed with Roc Nation. Another piece of evidence from Smith&#8217;s adviser, John Thorton, says that Jay-Z and Smith had met for meetings. <\/p>\n<p>The NFL has just begun its investigation, and it might be a while before we have a verdict. For now, Smith is still signed with Roc Nation. <\/p>\n<p>[h\/t: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/story\/0ap1000000206358\/article\/geno-smithroc-nation-relationship-under-scrutiny\">NFL.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=jOHkZxzwhzg:8Y005jdOwm8:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/jOHkZxzwhzg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jay-Z is under investigation by the NFL after it was found that he may have gotten too close to a recruit during the recruitment process.
