So then what? Stop making the games, maybe pay the players, hmm would like to see the outcome of that. Was it Rose who wanted a percent of the money from the sales of "his" jerseys to go into a fund that would be paid out once he graduated, good thing they were paying him on the side, pour thing must of almost starved to death.
Also what does the Athletic Department have to do with tuition? Last I checked the athletic department was independent from the rest of the college.
I would think many of these kids find it neat to have some "likeness" of theirs in a video game. This is there flash in the pan moment, before going on to a job outside the lime light.
98% fraudulent, please post a link.
First- I love how people flip out about these guys case.
yet when the school wants some more money for tickets or tuition, it is just pushed to the side.
Its just for the better cause, right guys?
Stop making the games in the likeness of the players, yes. Open the market up to other game developers-void any income with the NCAA or the colleges? Yes. Pay the players? I think it is fair. Is it fair to charge 85,000 fans $56 to watch a game vs WKU? If you think that is fair, well then I guess that is your opinion.
The athletic department is a department. See in the name?
You can think all you want, 9 of them do not think it is neat. If you invent something and I invent something in its likeness, am I in the wrong? how is it any different?
Oh and here are your links, these are just 2 of them, I read the actual article in the paper years ago.

The bottom line- is my hard earned money is being wasted, and these guys think they need to raise tuition? Sorry- people need fired.
