Re: O'Bannon Defense Team Reacts to NCAA Decision

It really just comes down to if a jury believes #whatever is or isnt said person in a video game. I mean they have same numbers,but do the pictures in the game look like anyone? I really don't think they do.

And another thing. If a jury thinks #2 is Manziel or #5 is Braxton Miller then that is fine. The thing is though they better stop selling these jerseys with #2 or #5 on them at stadiums and at schools. It is the same thing.

This will touch a lot more than video games if O'Bannon and Keller's team wins. Everything from TV broadcasts to apparel will be brought in at some point!

JW here. My law knowledge comes mainly from John Grishman books.
Not the best at Laywerese myself, but decided for the sake of simplicity to simply change it to Legal team. That way, there can be no confusion!!

This, of course, has been an increasingly popular discussion across the country. Should student athletes get paid to play (football)? The answer, I think, lies in the scale to which college football has become such a powerfully profitable enterprise. Think about it, EA Sports sells an NCAA football game because college football is huge. They don't sell a college baseball game because college baseball isn't huge. It comes down to market demand.

This lawsuit is more a catalyst to changing the landscape of money in college athletics than the largely academic debate that's been ongoing. Former players think that they should profit from video game sales, but that only kicks down the door to any other sale of merchandise related to their college playing career. Watch out.

No doubt this is a big deal in many ways than one.
