College athletes often use this scene to explain their situation when dealing the NCAA. The billion dollar business that is the NCAA has been making money off the college athletes and now college athletes are demanding their piece of the pie.
For years EA Sports has produced college football games with out paying the college athletes a dime for using their likeness in the game. For example all the players stats, height, weight, hometown, etc were used but the players name was not. In the game the players name was their position and jersey number i.e. QB #12. In the past EA sports would compensate the schools but not the players.
Ed O'Bannon is a former UCLA basketball player who has been the tip of the sword verse the NCAA in courts. Judge ruled that the NCAA will pay O'Bannons lawyers fees up to 46 million dollars. With hat much money allocated to lawyers I sincerely doubt a speedy outcome when all that money can be billed for over time.
