Relax. What you think is fair and what the law says is fair aren't always the same. And of course it's all about money! What part of college football isn't about money? Every school, conference and coach will screw anyone over to get more money. Why should the players be any different?

Sucks for people losing their jobs but as a business proposition there is no point keeping people around if they cannot add anything of value to a currently viable product. I suspect there was quite a bit of overlap with 2 people having basically the same job for Madden/NCAA. Only way the NCAA guy keeps his/her job is if he/she is that much better than the current Madden employee in which case they will lose their job.

On the legal side, how is ESPN be able to use names in promoting games, etc.? They're making money from promoting these players.

Every school, conference and coach will take money into account when looking at other jobs. Why should the players if the law has been broken be any different?

This thing called the 1st Amendment

Quote:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

It WAS EA's best defense but they gave it up and settled instead. ESPN has a 1st Amendment right to use college Player's likeness but your correct the logic of the claim would be the same. The ONLY difference is ESPN is the media and liberal judges love the media where they HATE evil profit making companies.

Interesting and upsetting read. Fired as they walked in this morning, including Jeff Luhr. Hopefully they find employment elsewhere as soon as possible.

Poor Ram

Said the idea was to turn the game over to fans, on the faith they know best what they most enjoy. Not only would that have entailed an overhaul of the existing customizer—TeamBuilder, which deals with single teams—the vision extended to things like stadium construction, layer editing for uniforms

Meh it's roughly 50/50 Youtube vids and articles. But for those posts there wouldn't be what 2/3 - 3/4 the activity there is in that portion of the forums + my Lincoln v. Douglas debate with IOU and we are prob looking at 80%+ of the activity in that portion of the forums since the announcement of PS4/XB1.

Well in fairness I was referring to Plaintiffs' lawyers and liberals 100% backing of same. I suppose he meant that suing companies creates jobs despite infinite evidence to the contrary with EA being the most recent example and all for $300 of damages for each athlete.

Didn't always see eye to eye with the NCAA team but I feel for them right now. Hopefully they will all land on their feet quickly.

And most of your gaming articles are from IGN. Just stick a link to IGN in your signature and save yourself time. ;)

Make it fun, turn it into a drinking game. Every time CLW says "insert redundant thing here"... Drink a beer or take a shot.

No.

My position is that just thinking about 8000 posts of "conservatives/PlayStation rules, liberals/Xbox sucks!" makes me tired.

Christian McLeod got a job with the Madden team. I'm glad since he moved his family to Florida from Michigan to take the job with EA.

Yep Judgment Day I believe. I seem to recall the main event involving HHH v. Vince McMahon (was it the PPV Stephanie turned on her father?)

Nice video ! I wouldn't mind going and trying to collect each of the NCAA football games from xbox to 360 from then to know. Most of them are probably pretty cheap.
