Free Rosters for NCAA 09 - Spread the word (Flyer attached for d/L)

[coogrfan]

If anyone thinks that this hasn't gotten Kaldenberg's attention, we found out differently on Friday when he made an attempt to purchase http://www.freencaa09rosters.com/

The amount he was willing to forfeit to make freeNCAA09Rosters.com go away. I'm not going to lie. I was more than on the fence, I thought that amount could make me swallow my pride and was truly close to just saying the heck with it and taking it. For a domain I purchased less than a month ago for $9 and spent less than a half days work building, that was a heck of a return. I knew it was wrong though and took the idea back to the community, the community whose dedication to spreading the word about free rosters created the true value for this website, and they set me straight. This domain is not for sale and I am taking steps to ensure temptation is never a factor again. But these events have proven that we are having an impact. Kaldenberg has used a sharp and aggressive tone in his correspondence with me and while he claims our impact is nothing to his bottom line, I believe it has to be or he wouldn't want us to go away. We are having an impact! Please continue to link to freeNCAA09Rosters.com. Thank you for your support.

Kudos to Trickyd for not selling, and to everyone who has spread the word. Keep up the good work.

I laugh that this guy keeps on paying all this money for these sites. I hope that somehow, he ends up making jack this year. I am going to make copies of O'Doggs flyer and drop them off at a few local Gamestop's hoping that it helps. I wonder if we can also contact ebay and tell them something that rosters being sold online are illegal due to NCAA. Does anyone know his ebay ID?

Are people taking the printouts to their midnight release stuff? Wonder if stores would let you hand them out or put them on the desk next to register

yeah man, just don't be pushy. i took mine to the gamestops and they are passing them out for me, they have given out about 30 leaflets they said. the way I did it was just ask politely if it was ok if I handed those out and then explained what they were.. then when I left I just "forgot" the extras. next time I came in they said everyone had been taking them. I figure at 30 leaflets x $10 a pop that's $300 less in Kaldenbergs greasy little fingers

Ha, good stuff. Im gonna try to get some to my gamestop tomorrow. It is pretty amazing (imo) that EA gave us the ability to share rosters. YOu'd think with the NCAA license they would be careful about all the rights and such for having amateur athletes be represented, but i cant say im sad.

Dang, I went to gamestop today to drop some off and the manager said that I couldn't. He said it would have to pass through corporate law or something and that he got in trouble for doing something like that for something else last year. Smh.

He did say I could hand them out at midnight release though.
