QMany Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I can't get over her face in the first two pictures. It is SO MUCH the same exact face, it doesn't look real. If that makes any sense at all. Quote Link to comment
ShawnWatson Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Get ready for the T-Magic coasters and coozies. Amussing but doubtfull, seeing as how his dad shut down his partnership with the university to sell the "Corn Feed" brand or whatever it was that he licensed to them. More just saying this is gonna open the floodgates to other stuff if the NCAA allows it. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 NCAA would not allow this for anyone outside the SEC. How is it right for HIM to keep the frickin money when others cant even get a f'ing job? The double standards. It's frickin bullsh#t. I don't know about that, but how is it OK for some random guy to make money off of selling 'Johnny Football' T-shirts? Quote Link to comment

I dont have a problem with the trademarking or whatever. it's the fact that he can collect on the money made in a suit. That should have to wait until his time as a college athlete is over. Whatever it is that needs to be done, he should not be allowed to receive any of that money until after his college career is over. I guess to answer your question, no it's not ok. But in this case, since there was no liscensing or such, it wasnt illegal either. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Might as well give the guy royalties on all A&M merchandise with #2 on it. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He deserves every penny. A&M got two more MNCs last year while he was QB. 4 Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I would like to know if this is going to affect ESPN's ability to say "Johnny Football" 6,436 times during any particular saturday in the fall. Quote Link to comment

It's OK in the same way that people made money over the last few years selling red shirts with the number 22 on it. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So... Johnny Foosball gets to keep the profits from his nickname usage, but this guy loses his eligibility for making a song that ends up on iTunes? Makes perfect sense, NCAA: Minnesota Wrestler Loses His Eligibility by Selling a Song Bauman aspires to inspire through his music, mainly hip-hop and rap. His most recent song video, which has a positive message and urges people to pursue their dreams, has drawn more than 47,000 hits on YouTube. It can also be downloaded for 99 cents on iTunes. That is a problem for the N.C.A.A. Because Bauman performed under his own name and identified himself as a Minnesota wrestler, the N.C.A.A. ruled him ineligible for the remainder of the season. J. T. Bruett, Minnesota’s compliance director, said Bauman violated an N.C.A.A. bylaw prohibiting student-athletes from using their name, image or status as an athlete to promote the sale of a commercial product.

QMany Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So let's get this straight. Johnny Football (a generic reference to someone) will be trademarked to Johnny Manziel. The NCAA said its OK to keep the money he may get form suing the T-shirt maker. Money he made by the sale of his shirts. This will allow Manziel to put his name on just about anything. However, he would not be able to profit from it until he leaves A&M. Providing he has a career after college would be the only way he can make money off the name. And this guy can't sell his songs, unless he changes his name? http://sportsillustr...20/joel-bauman/ Yeah, what he said ... So...
