shite, bro. A lot of pissed of retards who clearly did not read the link.

LSU isn't doing this because they are assholes, they are doing this because it is an NCAA violation and could possibly endanger TM7's eligibility.

I learned all I need to know from the sCam Newton saga. Regardless of what the NCAA rule book says, the NCAA WILL NOT, do anything that would come in the way of a big money game.
HB7 is good to geaux.

Why would anyone be glad that people are making money off someone else's fame?

A good lawyer would have a field day with that! He doesn't have any copyrighted or trademarked images or sayings on it that belong to LSU. They are just trying to scare people into believing they can stop you from making money off of it.

There are several very average lawyers in this thread trying to explain the logic behind LSU's decision to send these notices.

You will never be able to make believe that TM7's eligibility could in anyway be in danger if he isn't involved in anyway or profiting from the actions of others. Of course as we have learned in the Cam Newton situation if its a family member then they are free to do whatever they want.

LSU covered its bases by sending the cease and desist letter, so I don't think they'd have to worry about anything from the NCAA.


Mother fricking this...Now do you really think they are going to damage the career of TM7 over some crappy T-shirts...No, it would be unprecedented to say the least.

What is the difference between LSU using him for millions while not paying and small companies making money off him and not paying? At least LSU gave him the scholarship regardless of what happens on the field. Some idiot shouldn't be able to make money of a viral video that got coined into a nickname for a STUDENT athlete. If it was a pro athlete they would get sued, lose, and be put out of business. The guy is taking advantage of the fact that TM7 cannot collect money based on his likeness. I mean how does this not piss people off. The moment TM7 graduates hopefully TM7 can go after his arse for all this money he is making off him. I mean how would you feel if you were famous but poor and everyone else was making money off you?
