|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board NCAA hit with lawsuit over likeness usage Bob Nichols, Photographer Tipton | IN | USA | Posted: 7:53 PM on 07.21.09 ->> http://tiny.cc/9XvbA Some former NCAA players are suing the NCAA for profiting from the sale of the players' images. This should be interesting!  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Maybe it's time they got a taste of their own medicine.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Delane B.

The players have the argument since they have no means to oversee where the money goes. But what 18 year old understands how to put on a game? It's really about perspective, whose do you take? Reminds me a little of when the MLB sued about use of stats in fantasy baseball. Maybe EA should be able to make a college football game without paying anyone.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
