I haven't seen an EMU QB's picture on a box of Wheaties or a photograph of same QB driving a car for a local dealership.

And putting a photograph of a player on a media guide or program hardly is profiting off of that player. It is incidental usage of an image.

I'd like to answer these three posts:

steve - Schools like eastern don't really make money off Likeness rights - but bigger schools like UM and MSU sell jerseys with a players number on it. sure it may not say the players name but when he was in school you KNEW what number Denard Robinson was. You're 100% right that media guides are incidental usage - but NCAA video games arent. That was the point of the whole Bannon suit a few years ago.

2% of players go pro. All of them should be allowed to maximize their earning potential while in school just like any other student.

SMU - LOL love it. Pony Excess is one of my favorite 30 for 30s.

Boca - Really showing off that Toledo education huh? If your desperate to see what a former player says - howabout Jay Bilas. Former Duke Basketball player and member of the bar association: https://judicature.duke.edu/articles/to-...ot-to-pay/
