    Not college... But this only could happen in Texas...

      I'm surprised this news wasn't already here. The NCAA lost a lawsuit about refusing to pay college athletes for use of their likeness, and paying them, in general. The court decision limits compensation to $5,000/year.

        Haven't read the decision yet, but this strikes me as a mushy decision. If you have the right to sell your likeness, shouldn't you have the right to let the market determine how much that likeness is worth?

          It reads like the judge came up with the number because she heard it through the grapevine that most schools would be happy with a "a few thousand dollars" compensation. It seemed pretty arbitrary to me, too.

            Exactly. What's the precedent for the $5k cap?

            Also, "college athletes" is bulls***. It's just football and men's basketball players. No one involved in this suit cares about hockey players or any other athlete.

                I'm sure the NCAA is just thrilled with him.

                  There is no way this stands up. It's a stupid ruling because he knows it's going to fail (for sure under title IX) and he's just trying to make a point. I hate rulings like that.

                  All in all, dumb.

College Hockey 6       College Football 0
BTHC 4                 WCHA FC:  1

                    Or, Title IX forces the expansion to female athletes.

                    Or, the CHL starts advertising that you can get paid pkaying for them while in college you watch the hoops players get the bucks while you're freezing your butt off playing in front of the 3rd string cheerleaders.
