Quote:A federal judge ruled that the NCAA can't stop players from selling the rights to their names, images and likenesses, striking down NCAA regulations that prohibit players from getting anything other than scholarships and the cost of attendance at schools.

U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken, in a 99-page decision that followed a contentious three-week trial in June, ruled in favor of former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon and 19 others who sued the NCAA, claiming it violated antitrust laws by conspiring with the schools and conferences to block the athletes from getting a share of the revenues generated from the use of their images in broadcasts and video games. The injunction she issued allows players at big schools to have money generated by television contracts put into a trust fund to pay them when they leave.

I'm very happy with the ruling. Some thought if the NCAA lost it would "hurt college football beyond repair" which was f*ing stupid.

The NCAA is awful and these kids deserve their basic rights.

Yeah but what happens if Kessler(sp.) wins his suit?

I forget what that one's about. The game will adapt no matter the outcome. Stealing money from kids isn't the answer.
