[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 1156693, member: 198"] This has brought back to the surface a thought I’ve had for a long time. Schools are maid a lot of money through the conference for the media rights to their games. The courts have ruled that the athletes get a share of that media contract. It would be argued that the players provide value from their name (people tune in to watch specific players), image (they’re used in marketing images, advertisement stills, etc. by the networks), and likeness (their likeness is transmitted across the airwaves across the US and the world) to promote the games that are being played. Therefore, the revenue sharing has to do with NIL for the players. So, I could see it play out where Mensah could go to Miami, have to have a blacked out visor, not be able to do interviews, take his helmet off, be marketed by Miami, or even haw his name on the back of his uniform. This is extreme hyperbole, but I could see it successfully argued. [/QUOTE]
