Johhny Football?

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. :confucius

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?

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.

He deserves every penny. A&M got two more MNCs last year while he was QB.

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.

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.

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?

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
