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/

Did you get the part where they said everyone except Rice was doing it? But only SMU got punished. A&M bought Dickerson the Trans Am he was driving.

I love the line that Dickerson took a paycut in the NFL. LOVE it.

According to legend King Arthur never died. He's merely asleep deep in Avalon waiting to be awaken when England needs him to most. I like to imagine all the old SMU bag men are asleep in a mansion in Highland Park TX waiting to be allowed to pay players again.

No doubt the SMU boosters were wrong. But should the school have suffered millions of dollars lost and 30-40 years to recover? To say nothing about the embarrassment.
