That seems fair. And I think the courts settled that one.


Of course, all that will happen in those cases is that the colleges won't use their likenesses in any imagery whose specific intent is to raise money. I mean, look at the NCAA Football video game. As soon as Ed Bannon (I think - who was a college BB player) won his lawsuit, I'm guessing all these players thought they would start getting a bunch of money from the video game sellers. Instead, they all just shut down cause they couldn't afford to pay it out. It was a big lose-lose. Sort of an "well if I can't have any you can't either" type of thing.
