Friend and colleague, Daniel Fitzgerald, announced that the Connecticut Law Tribune has included an article that he has written on NCAA v. O’Bannon in its special section on intellectual property law, which was published today, April 18, 2011.
Sixteen years after starring in the NCAA tournament, O’Bannon is the lead plaintiff inO’Bannon v. NCAA (also referred to as In Re NCAA Student-Athletes Name & Likeness Licensing Litigation), a lawsuit pending in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. After his professional basketball career ended, O’Bannon grew frustrated that various entities continued to profit from his and his teammates’ collegiate success at UCLA while they received nothing. O’Bannon was connected with Sonny Vaccaro, who is credited with introducing commercialism to college basketball through his marketing efforts on behalf of sneaker companies. Vaccaro, now an outspoken advocate for the rights of student-athletes, connected O’Bannon with a law firm experienced in dealing with high-profile class action suits. A O’Bannon v. NCAA Shines a Light Upon Student-Athletes’ Right of Publicity v. NCAA Shines a Light Upon Student-Athletes’ Right of Publicity ensued.
O’Bannon v. NCAA is brought on behalf of former NCAA student-athletes against the NCAA and its licensing arm, the Collegiate Licensing Company and video game developer Electronic Arts Inc., often referred to as EA Sports. The action survived the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and has been consolidated with Keller v. Electronic Arts, a similar lawsuit brought by former Arizona State and Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller.
The plaintiffs in O’Bannon v. NCAA assert two central claims. First, they claim that the defendants violate the Sherman Antitrust Act. Second, the plaintiffs claim that the defendants improperly license and/or use players’ likenesses in violation of their right of publicity. This article provides a brief snapshot of the right of publicity issue, which has implications for past, present and future student-athletes, as well as the NCAA’s concept of amateurism.
I’m deciding whteher to buy NCAA Football 2010 or 2011. My favorite college football team is, of course the Longhorns, and Colt McCoy is my favorite quarterback of all time, and another great reason I want to play the game. I just wanted to know if he is the default quarterback on the Longhorn team or if it’s Garret Gilbert, or if you can make Colt the quarterback within the game somehow. This will help me decide which game I want to buy. Thanks a lot.
