CAA has had some internal issues for a while now — so I wouldn’t rush to judgement trying to blame Jay Z for things falling apart with the two entities.
Liz Mullen is reporting that Roc Nation Sports and CAA have ended their planned partnership.

According to Sports Business Daily, both parties made a joint announcement.
“Roc Nation Sports and CAA Sports have recently concluded their two-year partnership. Roc Nation Sports and CAA Sports are two of the premier agencies and they will continue their high levels of client service to the world’s top athletes. They have enjoyed their time as partners and have achieved many successes together. Going forward, they will each focus their efforts on their own business opportunities and clientele.” The two companies first announced their joint venture in April ’13.
The companies share several high-profile athletes, including Robinson Cano, Kevin Durant and Victor Cruz. Rumors have swirled for months that CAA’s top guy — Tom Condon — was heade to Roc Nation.
