Which Devin White are you talking about? Because I'm talking about the other one.

Ok, good, I am glad you got this covered.

Look, I am all for it, but the if the Bama controlled NCAA office interprets the billboard as a commercial item, who knows.

quote:

Bylaw 12.5.2.2 Use of a Student-Athlete's Name or Picture without Knowledge or Permission If a student-athlete’s name or picture appears on commercial items (e.g., T-shirts, sweatshirts, serving trays, playing cards, posters, photographs) or is used to promote a commercial product sold by an individual or agency without the student-athlete’s knowledge or permission, the student-athlete (or the institution acting on behalf of the student-athlete) is required to take steps to stop such an activity in order to retain his or her eligibility for intercollegiate athletics.

We’re not selling anything with his name on it or promoting another product by using his name.

This is a glorified picket sign. That rule does not apply. With that said, queue up the #STTDB billboards!!!

The billboard is not a commercial item. No one is selling a commercial product. This is political expression.

Any other interpretation would ban newspapers. They are using the names of student athletes to sell papers. Is that a violation?

If not, then this certainly is not.

I could see how many in Birmingham would be opposed to this.

Cool. What do you think the Gumps will change it to after they beat us? I guess it will have to do with whatever humiliating fate awaits him once he IS allowed to play.

And yet you try to claim being Devin White. Hell, your average Tiger fan is more Devin White than that.



Well they didn’t have any Devin White dna to use so technically I am 1 /1024 Lilly White, Betty White and Barry White. Close enough.

Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat Senator, claimed to be Native American/Cherokee to get into Harvard. Trump bashed her for the ridiculousness of this in the 2016 campaign, calling her Pocahontas. Warren released the results of a DNA test last week proving she does have some Indian blood, being specifically 1/1024th Native American. Laughing at her expense ensued.
