GP1 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Article It's one thing for former player to enter into a lawsuit against the ncaa. It's a whole different game when current players do. Current players give a better face to the inequities between who is making money from college athletics and who isn't. The problem for the ncaa and their lead pimps...athletic directors and head coaches...is there can now be a PR campaign showing how someone like Nick Saban or Urban Meyer lives vs. the players they coach. Or, the executives at the game companies that sell the video games and the abject poverty that some of the guys playing college athletics come from. It puts a better face on this case than Ed Obannon (sp?) does because he is well into his adulthood and has done well in life. If the members of the ncaa lose this lawsuit and take a bath paying former and current players for past revenue, it's their own damn fault. They could have done something about this years ago. Instead, they passed regulations about whether or not a school can supply salmon for bagels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ncaa will no longer allow their name to be used. However, member institutions will still continue to be allowed to sign contracts with game companies. Conclusion, the ncaa will still continue to make a ton of money off of these games because the ncaa is a member organization and the members will still be making money. One can only put lipstick on a pig for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
