Like Tree Planter said, copyrights. People being protective of their image and not understanding the nature of wikipedia or photographers just being photographers. Heck the FBI even threatened to sue wiki for including its seal on the bureau's page. Stupid. One would think that his photo from the university's official website, huskers.com, could be used as it's a public entity and such works are often open - for example works of the Federal Government enter the public domain upon their creation (so you can print as many copies of the 9/11 commission report as you want and sell them) but works of state governments are left to the states to release and it looks like they've copyrighted it. Ameer could just take a photo of himself, email it to someone, grant open license and have them upload it. Quote Link to comment

Does it matter where they take it? Can I go to a CFB game take a picture and own it for all uses? NFL? Quote Link to comment
