Apparently the claim against the NCAA, CLC and EA is specific to "Form 08-3a", which was required to be signed to participate in athletics. The allegation, and I'm paraphrasing, is that the form gives the NCAA the athlete's likeness in perpetuitiy, as well as to third parties like EA. I'm not sold.

Here's a copy of said form from UK: http://www.ukathletics.com/doc_lib/c..._statement.pdf

Part IV appears to be the section in question. Thoughts?
for the lame....its part 4. i just dont see how a judge can rule against the ncaa and ea in this case. the student athletes signed a "contract" that allowed the ncaa to use their name and picture to promote ncaa championships or other ncaa events.

the athletes signed off on that. they signed away their likeness. its an open and shut case, imo. ea got the cfb license from the ncaa, in which the ncaa can claim that this is an "other ncaa event" from part 4.....i dont see how it helps the former student athletes at all. in fact, it hurts their case.
