SportsTrust Advisors' Pat Dye Jr. Suing CAA's Jimmy Sexton Over Partnership Breakup In '11

SportsTrust Advisors Founder & CEO Pat Dye Jr. is suing CAA football agent Jimmy Sexton "following the dissolution of their partnership" in '11, according to Creg Stephenson of AL.com. Sexton is "accused of stealing away key clients" when he left SportsTrust Advisors for CAA in '11, including Falcons WR Julio Jones. It is "unclear when or if the lawsuit will ever get to trial." Sexton's attorneys last week "won a reversal in Federal Appeals Court that they be allowed to amend their request that the case be heard in Federal Court, rather than Georgia Superior Court where it was originally filed." Sexton and Dye merged their sports agencies in '10, but "split up a little more than a year later when Sexton left to join CAA." Dye "alleges that Sexton stole away Jones and used his relationship" with Jones to land free agent RB Trent Richardson and Rams LB Mark Barron, both former Univ. of Alabama teammates and "close friends of Jones." Though Sexton and Dye "merged their agencies, they maintained separate offices, Sexton in Memphis, Dye in Atlanta." Dye alleges that Sexton "never offered to bring the Atlanta SportsTrust office along with him when he joined CAA" (AL.com, 6/20).
