Not that the O’Bannon lawyers care particularly.
And here’s the punchline.
Man, the NCAA is something else.
NCAA president Mark Emmert says NCAA is out of business of selling individual schools' jerseys and other memorabilia. Called it a "mistake"

Emmert says they got no revenue from that site. Handling as a pass-through for schools. Going to crush them in court and they got jack. Ha.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
and the hits just keep on coming.
There should be a special contest in the Fabris Pool with over/under on Emmert’s tenure. I’m going with 60 days max.

Let’s make it interesting….say a little incentive…like tickets in the Red Seats for the SC Game.

Got no revenue from the site? Handling it as a pass-through for schools? Sounds like concerted action …

What am I missing?
The O’Bannon lawsuit is bad PR for the NCAA, but where exactly are they 3 steps over the line with respect to the law? Lots of things that are ridiculously unfair are legal under the law. Those situations can be very effective at changing existing law – but what existing law are they breaking sufficient to reach the damages stage of the case?
Clearly, I know just enough law to be very dangerous. And I am looking forward to seeing what sort of contortionist nonsense comes next in the evolution of big-time college athletics.

Oh, the impugning of NCAA credibility, the perfidy and ineptness of his Emertness, a veritable supercilious emperor losing his new clothes before our very eyes.

It’s why I’ll keep venturing back here — the tiny shots of ancient history and not- so ancient history replete with Roman emperor references! Love it. And Emmert is in full-on Nero mode just about now.
