greg775 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I wonder what the practical implication of the ruling will be. I notice the judge set a limit of $5,000 per player. So if the school sells the player's jersey with the name on the back, I guess the player will get all the money up to the first $5,000. What if the school at a lousy football program like Kansas, only sells $1,000 worth of its best player's jersey? The player would get the full $1,000? Now what about a basketball player? Let's say the Kelly Oubre jersey sells like hotcakes. KU gives him the first $5,000 then keeps the rest? The school figures to bomb on some of the lesser players' jerseys. What about autographed basketballs? Even the stiffs sign the balls which go for a few hundred dollars. Somebody's going to have to keep track of all the money, to make sure the players who sign get money up to $5,000. Sounds like a lot of paperwork. The schools ought to just stop selling jerseys and balls and let the players sell their own til they've made $5,000. Then at the $5,000 mark, the school could make some jerseys of their own and start selling their own balls once the players hit the cap of $5,000.
