Romeo is selling tee shirts with his name on it

[TR32]

I won't even comment on that. Day after the draft.

 

[skippy1813]

But you did comment on it

And so what?

 

[Coach Pete Bell]

Thanks for not bringing it up.

You can charge for t-shirts with your name on them too.

 

[fpeaugh]

Why would he not if people are willing to buy them?

Other than possibly jealousy on your part, why shouldn't he?

By "not commenting" you mean starting a thread on it.

They are ugly shirts. Look like a blue light special from Kmart.

wheres the link - I have 3 kids that would probably wear them to the games this season...

Athletes should have the rights to sell them during their college career.

And then the cheaters would change from offering $100,000 to: " I can guarantee that you will sell $250,000 of your merchandise if you play on our team."

cheaters gonna cheat. Players should profit from their likeness. Not just the universities and coaches.

I absolutely agree.

Unfortunately that seems to the NCAA’s thought as well. They spend time making up rules about what can go onto a bagel before it becomes a meal instead of going after cheaters.

For those wanting players to be able to sell their likeness a question: if this becomes allowed how competitive will IU be in recruiting the 5 stars who will be able to sell the most?

I had a Damon shirt I see nothing wrong with what Romeo is doing.

How well they do would remain to be seen but IU does have a large and dedicated fan base. That would really work in their favor.

It's likely just a matter of time until this becomes a reality.

My daughter did too. It was from the early 90s . Pretty sure she still has it.

Ummm, OSU as a school rakes in more than IU now and their facilities prove that. So I would assume it would be more of the same. No worries there.
