Simple concept you still don't get it. NCAA steals the fruits of athlete labor (likeness/name).
Then don't play in the NCAA. If the athletes want to make commercials, don't go to college. Make commercials. But then you have to admit that the only reason the athlete is famous is because of the stage provided by the school and NCAA.
which does not give the NCAA full ownership over the name likeness. Lebron James is famous because of the stage platform provided by the NBA. THe NBA does not own his name. He sells it to nike or whomever he wants.
Try again.
"Try again". ****, I thought we got out of the cute message board comments around 2006. Some of us did, I guess.
And the athlete STILL doesn't have full ownership of his name/ likeness even after the court ruling. So, again, if you don't like it, apply, pay tuition, and you won't fall under anyone's rules anymore.
You clearly don't live in a neighborhood with an HOA. Nor do you work for a company that does research. The real world might help you see this a little more clearly.
