And the agents for athletes take in the ballpark of 10% or so of their total compensation.

Total compensation is the important part here.

Everyone talking about how great an agent would be are forgetting that under the current way every agent works, they'd be writing off 10% of their paychecks in perpetuity to that agent (or at least along a defined timeline).
