8 Lawsuits against the NCAA

Postby Snapshot9 » September 21st, 2010, 2:12 pm

Should the student-athlete be compensated by the NCAA? That is the question that these 8 lawsuits pose?

Only 2 domestic sports organizations have won anti-trust cases: MLB and MLS. The NFL has repeatedly lost them. . .at least on 3 separate occasions.

I think the case against the video games companies is especially strong. In that one you have the games listing the player's home town, height, weight, correct number and proper skin color, not to mention that the graphics are designed to look just like the real person --- all without the real person's consent.

It is one thing for the NCAA to show highlights of past NCAA tournaments and football games. It is something all together different for a third party to steal somebody's likeness and sell a computer game from it...

I don't necessarily agree with that. While the players are clearly designed to be that person if you take a look at the graphics for NCAA Football 11 and Madden 11. Both games have excellent graphics. However, the players in NCAA look nothing like their counterparts. Also, if you play NCAA the rosters are so butchered other than the major Heisman candidates.

You don't think that, just maybe, the 2011 versions of the games, which were made after the lawsuit had already been filed, may have been "adjusted" just a bit because of the lawsuit, perhaps to make the computer images look a little less like the real people????

It won't be a huge issue if EA is forced to make random college players as long as the edit feature is still available.

Double does not take disagreement well.

One question mark is sufficient. Four question marks indicate "How dare you to question my opinion?"
