Did anyone see what Jay Bilas did?

[Canes2082]

Very Interesting. He went to www.shopncaasports.com and under the search bar typed in Johnny Manziel, well not to everyone's surprise Texas A&M # 2 jersey's popped up and even a t-shirt that said Johnny football.

He also did this for the following players and the jerseys they wear popped up immediately:

Nerlens Noel
Marquise Lee
Deanthony Thomas
AJ McCarron
Teddy Bridgewater
Tajh Boyd
Jadeveon Clowney

Shortly after he put this on twitter, whoever runs the shopncaasports.com website disabled the search feature. Jay just proved right there that they use the likeness of student athletes to profit.

How ironic that "Official Store of NCAA" sells Johnny Football shirts: http://bit.ly/bR3UFe Or, a coincidence it's No. 2 with "Football"?

Ive been saying for decades now that I would LOVE to see Michael Jordan sue the NCAA for royalties on #23 UNC jersey sales after he left college. The dollars would be astronomical.

The $EC and Ohio State, and Notre Dame are the only schools that like the NCAA

True, but they didn't seem to do them any favors last year with their bowl game ban however I always thought if Tressel had suspended all those players involved for the Sugar Bowl then they wouldn't have been given a 1 year bowl ban and that 12-0 would have most likely put them in the NC game

Wow. NCAA might be ****ed on that one.

Without a doubt swagger, if Im the attorney representing the guys who are going after the NCAA for use of their likeness what more proof do you need than that right there?? I typed a name in and that jersey popped up.... WOW

This JM situation is not good for the NCAA. Probably would've been a good idea to stay true to form and sweep this SEC issue under the rug.

The only person that gets it more than Bilas is Golden

NCAA weak today.

Lots of respect for Bilas! Guy is very bright with an excellent understanding of the sham that is the NCAA?

 

[Sandman211]

Wow. NCAA might be f***ed on that one.

I sure hope so. But I can't imagine the NCAA actually getting in trouble for anything. Seems to me that they believe they are untouchable. Maybe this will be the ***** in their armor.
