NCAA Sam Keller vs. EA Update (Patent Arcade)

Re: NCAA Sam Keller vs. EA Update (Patent Arcade)

How would that happen when having an agent, no matter what they call themselves, is against collegiate rules? If there were any organization by a "handler" or agent it would come out who was doing it and the kids would immediately lose any potential scholarships and that'd be the end of the story altogether. So for that reason I don't think it's possible at all for that to occur.

There is just no potential way, considering the situation, for any sort of unity against the NCAA by pre-college kids to occur here. None.

I guess Keller's job as a bartender in Scottsdale isn't suppoting his coke habit.

Call me crazy, but I think it might actually be a GOOD thing if Keller wins.

EA would probably respond by putting a roster builder online (kinda like Team Builder), and then the community would band together, edit the rosters online and we'd end up being able to download the most accurate rosters ever.

Come to think of it, EA should ALREADY have an online roster builder that users can edit and download.

This case pisses me off.

I don't know the name of one single player on, say, Akron.

And if I play a game with Akron with default rosters, I still will not know a single player's name.

I'd love to put Keller on the stand, read off the number, weight, height, home town, etc. of the third-string LG on Idaho, and have him tell me who this player is.

The NCAA is the biggest crook there is. I know this is between Keller and EA, but if the NCAA allowed player's likenesses to be used in anything there wouldn't be a case. The NCAA makes more money than anyone. And to all those who say "the player's get a free education," well that's true for most football/basketball players, but I play Divison I baseball and we have to split 11 scholarships between the 25-30 of us. I and the rest of my teammates have a partial scholarship, yet the NCAA still makes their money. And to NHL fans out their, they are including the CHL which is all amateurs. And guess what, they can use their NAMES AND LIKENESS. It's the NCAA that's the problem.

Yeah the NCAA is so awful, making money while giving out free housing and education to students who in many cases otherwise wouldn't be able to even sniff a college education. They're just monsters.

Exactly! Given a free education and not having to pay back anywhere from an average of $20,000-$40,000 is enough.

NCAA doesn't give out scholarships, the schools do. It doesn't come out of their pockets, it comes out of the school's pocket. NCAA is the biggest hypocrites of them all, they say "nobody else can make money off of these players except us!" Everyone knows that they make millions upon millions off of collegiate athletes.

Not to mention, most players have to pay their way through college. Also, most Division III schools don't allow full scholarships to be given, and who knows why. They have rules that make absolutely no sense.
