Jim Leavitt proceeds with suit against South Florida; NCAA on lookout for counterfeiters; Hawkeye Down
March 16, 2010
Terminated coaches sometimes don't take their firing in an accepting manner. Of course we have Mike Leach now going through the discovery process with Texas Tech. And now former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt is ready to proceed with his lawsuit against South Florida.
NCAA determined to combat bootleggers at the men’s Final Four basketball championship
“It’s vital to be able to control your [trade]marks and the revenue they generate.”, said Michael Drucker, an attorney for Collegiate Licensing Co. Collegiate has contracts with the NCAA to grant licenses for the legitimate sale of apparel. The NCAA means to collect their royalties, and will aggressively go after purveyors of unlicensed products. Selling counterfeit merchandise yields high returns, but carries little risk.
The University of Iowa acted switftly and decisively in firing men's basketball coach Todd Lickliter after only 3 years on the job. Hawkeyes' Athletic Director Gary Barta would not accept a half-filled arena and lack of enthusiasm from the Hawkeye faithful. Lickliter still had 4 years remaining on his contract and will receive $2.5 million. See the liquidated damages clause in the contract.
