O'Bannon v. NCAA Amended Class Action March 10, 2010
"Glory Road" heroes head to court
It's "March Madness" time again, with conference tournaments in full swing and selection Sunday a day or two away. A few years back Disney produced the movie Glory Road, which depicted the NCAA tournament basketball champions of 1966 - the Texas Western Miners (now the University of Texas El Paso). Now two heroes of that team, Harry Flourney and David "Big Daddy" Latin have joined as additional plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the NCAA, which was originally initiated by former Nebraska and Arizona State quarterback Sam Keller and later joined by former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon. The suit contends that the NCAA should compensate college athletes for the use of their images and likenesses in games such as those made by EA Sports.
Next former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon brought his own suit against the NCAA under an antitrust theory as it relates to multiple products featuring the players images and likenesses.
Along with Flourney and Latin, 9 other players have joined in suing the NCAA and EA Sports. SLT will continue to follow this important story.
