9th Circuit Court of Appeals Overturns Likeness Payments

this was the amount sued for by Ed O'Bannon for the commercial use of players likeness in video games, jerseys, TV, video etc in the amount of up to $5,000 per year in deferred compensation

The Court of Appeals actually affirmed (as other Courts) have that there was an anti-trust violation and upheld separate educational-related payments for Student-Athletes for full costs of attendance. Split the baby.

Great decision

No, it's not. Not for the athlete.

Some athletes. O'Bannon is getting hosed, I believe that, but other athletes from other schools who don't bring in the revenue he does are already getting a free ride and that's more than they're worth as college athletes.

A free ride at SMU, Baylor, Rice, TCU, Duke, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Miami, USC, Notre Dame, Georgetown are much more valuable than say a free ride at UT or A&M. Tuition at SMU is what 5 times more than UT?
