U.S. District Court Ruling Overturns NCAA Ban on Athlete Payments


A U.S. District Court in Oakland, CA ruled that the NCAA must permit college athletes to make money from their images, likenesses, and names. Interestingly, the plaintiff is a 41 year old former UCLA college player who is now a car salesman. He discovered that his likeness was being used in a video game without granting his consent or receiving compensation.
