Title: Judge rules in favor of plaintiffs in O'Bannon antitrust case against NCAA
Post by: Jamos on August 08, 2014, 07:22:15 PM
A federal judge has ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the Ed O'Bannon class-action case, declaring that NCAA rules barring college football and men's basketball players from being compensated for the use of the names, images and likenesses "unreasonably restrain trade" and are in violation of antitrust laws.

I think the NCAA saw this coming, which is why they are distancing themselves from the Power 5 Conferences.

Probably this ruling will mean we get even more hype for certain players, as if it isn't bad enough already.

The dyke has a lot of leaks all of a sudden, and the little Dutch boy doesn't care anymore.
