Second, potentially damaging e-mails involving two other
defendants—Collegiate Licensing Company (the NCAA's licensing partner)
and Electronic Arts—have emerged. These e-mails portray CLC officials as
worried about the legal impact of Electronic Arts's developing
video-game characters using real college players' names and then
removing those names before retail.
Very interesting article on O'Bannon's case. I think his proposal to have the potential compensation put in a trust is a great solution to the NCAA's main objections that are based upon preserving "amateurism." It only seems right for the players to get some form of compensation when others are profiting from the use of their images.
