re: Mike & Mike bashing LSU for Simmons-centric marketing campaign

EA used entire rosters of all NCAA teams and while they used numbers they did not use accurate hometowns or states in the bios. You could argue that EA tried to benefit or "use" likeness of every single athlete from the 3rd string deep snapper (who has zero marketability) to the Heisman QB it is spread out over thousands of athletes.
Ours is based on a single player.

and ours doesn't show his face or number or name. ea made every single player in the game look as closely as possible, even with the right accessories. i'm still trying to figure out why this is any different than putting a player on a media guide or poster

Is that supposed to make a difference?

Yeah, that's why Texas A&M Football never made a nickel til Johnny Football showed up, and LSU Basketball never turned a profit until now that Ben Simmons has shown up to raise some revenue, and UCLA never sold any merchandise or season tickets or TV broadcast rights until Ed O'Bannon got there (or since he left, right?). Yeah, the decades of teams, coaches, administrators, fans and everyone else who work to build a brand like Bama or LSU or SC or Notre Dame or Texas have nothing to do with it; every penny they make is 100% solely due to whoever the current star-de-jour is.
The actual, dollar value impact of each individual player relative to the entire athletic department of their schools, compared to the actual, dollar value impact of the benefits provided by the school (scholarship, coaching, exposure, training, facilities, tutoring, housing, stipend, etc.) relative to that individual is completely out of whack . . . in the individual's favor. I struggle to imagine a college athlete whose absence from a program would have made a bigger difference to that program's bottom line than the difference not playing would have made to that athlete's bottom line. In other words, Ed O'Bannon minus UCLA Basketball is a much bigger loss than UCLA Basketball minus Ed O'Bannon. And the same is true for Manziel, Simmons, Bush, etc., etc.

Look as I said I like the campaign and have no problem using athlete's likenesses. Courts have disagreed.
The name of the campaign is "25 is coming" It's clearly Simmons
I hope we hold tough, but I think we fold

we had a campaign called "All Eyes on 3" for Kevin Faulk. Every single Heisman campaign has some sort of similar slogan where they clearly use the player's likeness without using his name, and it's perfectly legal. We're going to be fine actually. shite, we make jerseys for football every year that just happen to be the number of our best players at that particular time.

This is an excerpt from LSU's press release (the link I posted):
quote:
This year’s campaign will focus on the arrival of the nation’s No. 1 recruit, Ben Simmons, and his chosen jersey number “25.”

Outside of SVP and Russillo ESPN has some of the worst talk show hosts

Listening to Mike Golic talk about anything basketball related is so informative.
That whole show sucks.

ESPN makes millions off of amateur athletes. HYPOCRITICAL as it gets.
Probably a large percentage of their revenue is made off of amateur athletes.

Some actually use the player's likeness, name, etc. I don't listen to M&M because they're boring as hell but I have to think they went apeshit bananas when stuff like this happened. Right?
