April 5, 201313 yr Goggles up! Again... which player exactly is that exploiting? I enjoy some people implying that this is UK fans making something out of nothing. Major topic on most national radio/TV shows and Adidas is no longer selling the shirts.

April 5, 201313 yr The entire team! What about the fact that the University of Kentucky having nothing to do with those shirts/merchandise do you not understand?
April 5, 201313 yr What about the fact that the University of Kentucky having nothing to do with those shirts/merchandise do you not understand? Nike makes the "Goggles Up" shirt and sells them on campus at the bookstore.
April 5, 201313 yr Nike makes the "Goggles Up" shirt and sells them on campus at the bookstore. It is not licensed by UK. Just Nike...Plenty of teams and players throw up the goggles....Doron Lamb was not the first player in the NCAA to do it.
April 5, 201313 yr He should be ineligible. It's been said multiple times that Ware said he didn't care where the money went for the shirts so it's obvious they asked him permission. Ineligible. Sorry kid. Wrong and here is why, the player did nothing, once a player signs his/her scholarships, they are giving up all rights to likeness and such for the university. In other words UofL can do whatever they want with his likeness whether he agrees or not, therefore Ware is off the hook. In order for these shirts to be printed with the NCAA logo and final four on the back, the NCAA and/or UofL had to give permission. If UofL approved the shirts for sale and its getting proceeds, ites completely fine, no different than any other merchandise with UofL on it. What UofL does with the money they receive, may have limitations for UofL (IE cant put it in scholarship fund, must be booked as sales revenue and such.)

And that is what the whole O'Bannon lawsuit is about in regard to the NCAA using his likeness for their video games.
April 5, 201313 yr UK is the only team I could find that has a "Goggles Up" shirt True, it's because they and Nike were the ones to try and market it. I guarantee if any other school wanted they could do the same. There is no individual player regard for those shirts. I'll give you an example... ^ The above shirt mentioning the twins is an obvious reference to Andrew and Aaron, but it not affiliated with UK or the NCAA ^ This has no individual player reference, and is licensed by UK.
April 5, 201313 yr And that is what the whole O'Bannon lawsuit is about in regard to the NCAA using his likeness for their video games. That's a problem with the NCAA is how much money they make off these NCAA games. They are hypocrites when it comes to selling these games using the likeness, and these players, but in the same fashion disallows the individual school and player from doing anything similar.
April 5, 201313 yr And that is what the whole O'Bannon lawsuit is about in regard to the NCAA using his likeness for their video games. Once you sign the scholarship to a University that is a member of any affiliation, that right carrys through to said association. So Big East, NCAA, NIT and the like. Seriously does no one read their scholarships or legal docs before they sign them. lol
