Another brilliant move by Flake James

That's still pretty close to the players likeness.

Instead, they should sell pictures of jerseys with the numbers blurred out.

This is a move that was suggested and made for legal reasons, and not one that was (or at least should not have been) made at the administrative level - though they had to agree to go along with the attorney's recommendation.

No it's not. It' s a retroactive move showing just how dumb our administration is and removed from the current landscape of sports. If they were smart, they would encourage the individual numbers of each individual player will be sold WITH EACH PLAYER being able to receive a portion of their jersey's sold how the NFL and NFLPA split fees with their players. When the Federal District Court of Appeals affirms the lower court decision of the O'Bannon case, and the Supreme Court denies certiorari, it will give UM the ability to recruit better and to actually pay its players in a legal capacity that the NCAA can't stop. By addressing this need now and not have this antiquated policy, it would help with recruiting as a financial incentive would be there for a player to legally be paid.

But go ahead and think that this policy is "good for the school." It's a terrible policy.

So if our Admin was "smart" they would promise impermissible benefits to our recruits thus jeopardizing their eligibility?
 
JERSEY #1 AS WERE #1 NOT WITH FAKE JAMES & FOLDEN.... I ONLY HOPE THIS IN RESPONSE TO RECENT O'BANNON DECISION
ON NCAA ATHLETES...... AVOID SHARING $$$$$$ OTHERWISE HIS JUSTIFICATION WAS PHYSCO BABBLE AT ITS BEST
 
If James were honest about selling jersey #s corresponding to our ranking, he'd be selling the Irvin jersey, or even Sapp.

I don't think you understand the premise I was making, I don't think you read James' quote about the number reflecting the year in subsequent years. Players will be able to keep their share of their revenue with the O'Bannon decision showing that they can. This move is in what appears to get in front of that. There CANNOT BE an NCAA violation for the NCAA blatantly violating the law by restricting players from profitting of its own likeness. Whenever that stay is lifted and the O'Bannon case overrules the NCAA's limits on player's receiving their share, there can be no NCAA violation. Therefore, the administration is being retroactive, yet again, as the writing is on the wall for players to receive income from the profit generated from their image. In the interim and while the appeal is pending, you plan out what will happen for both situations, not just make a garbage plan like Blake James did.

Until that time comes that our AD and head football coach is fired, I will heed their advice, and go to fewer games.

Will a reduction in jersey sales by no longer offering the jersey numbers of your star players (unless they coincidentally have the number of the year or number 1) be offset by not having to pay said players for selling shirts with their numbers on it? If so, it seems like a smart decision. Salud, Blake!

When was 100% of nothing better than some percent of something? Like.. "Ahh we can't get 8 million, only 1million.. but at least we don't have to pay kaaya 100,000". Pro leagues all around the world are going bankrupt by players getting a percentage of jersey sales....
 
THIS until they know the outcome of the O'Bannon case.
