Re: O'Bannon Legal Team Reacts to NCAA Decision
NCAA bailing on this is basically a admission of guilt.. If you didnt do anything wrong why are you running? Yeah the contract was up but come on now that greedy branch isnt running from any money unless they fear losing it...PSN: Somo23P

In regards to the rest: I've read everything Grisham has ever written. All of his books are not novels but all of his novels are indeed books.

I can't for the life of me understand how the NCAA or schools don't have a waiver that athletes need to sign that says the school and or NCAA can use their likeness while they are in the athletic programs. It seems like that would have been thought of a long time ago.Athletics Franchise:

Easy way to fix this, create a bowl game called the EA Sports Bowl. The winning team of this bowl game gets a certain percentage of profits from the video game to use towards scholarships or some sort of academic benefit. Case closed everybody wins.Wreck 'Em Tech

Re: O'Bannon Defense Team Reacts to NCAA Decision
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.

If they win the case, whats to stop each individual schools from suing the athletes for the "payments" already made to them? i.e. scholarships, room and board, training costs, uniforms and clothing, books.. travel etc etc. some schools can be upwards of 100k plus.. if you win the battle, and you claiming to want compensation.. wouldnt that compensation be reduced by the payments already given? and they did sign the deal didnt they? its in the contract to use their likeness by the college, and the governing body.. NCAA.."..I ain't a thug, how much tupac in you you got? I aint no beotch eva.. its eva my life or your life and i aint leavin.. i like breathin.. If you really wanna take it there we can, just remember that you messin wid a family man.. got a lot more to loose than you.. rememba dat.. "Comment

Re: O'Bannon Legal Team Reacts to NCAA Decision
I am not an expert on contract law, but I would think that a case for the players being extorted through the NCAA might work. It's not like the kids have another choice (the CFL really isn't a choice when it comes to experience and playing time).
This is why the whole question of another effort from EA is far from closed. Are the universities willing to allow these lawsuits to continue? Right now it's the NCAA, but the next step is the universities themselves. It's better to close off the gap now than to let the problems continue. I want the series to continue especially since this is the best CFB game that I've ever played. However, these cases and the results from the shrapnel are not doing EA any favors.Rangers - Cowboys - Aggies - Stars - Mavericks

Re: O'Bannon Legal Team Reacts to NCAA Decision
The only thing I really care about, outside of the presence of a college football game is
if now 2k or some other company can jump on in and make their version as well. IDK if this is even a possibility or if EA is going to make the conferences and award committees sign exclusivity deals with them, I hope not.Comment
