RE: EA Sports loses at 9th Circuit
Strictly a SWAG here, but certainly the named Plaintiffs will be taken out of future games and the plaintiffs will move forward with trying to get class certification to represent all former NCAA athletes (or at least D1 football players). As a practical matter, we probably just got closer to the O'Bannon case scenario where the athletics financial aid agreement that the athletes sign give the university the right to use and license the athletes' likeness, but nothing after graduation/expiration of scholarship. Thus, EA would get licenses from each school and only use current athletes, excluding all past athletes. The game licenses would also expire after one year! But I haven't studied it much, so that is strictly an initial reaction from me, not anything definitive and perhaps not my final thoughts on it.
