More on O'Bannon v. NCAA

Yesterday I linked to my SI column on O'Bannon v. NCAA.

This case is generating a great deal of attention. Here are a variety of commentaries from different perspectives:
  • David Moltz, Inside Higher Ed, The Right Profile (Moltz interviews Sonny Vaccaro and Duke law professor Paul Haagen)
  • William C. Rhoden, New York Times, A Lasting Image: Standing Up to the NCAA (Rhoden interviews Richard Southall of the College Sport Research Institute -- Richard has guest blogged here before and we've talked his important work)
Also, Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times has a thoughtful feature article on Sonny Vaccaro, who is an unpaid consultant for O'Bannon's legal team (meaning that he has no financial stake in the case). In a USA Today article, O'Bannon discussed being bothered by the NCAA's recent business ventures that included his image and likeness but that he had not considered suing until he was approached by Sonny and his wife and business partner, Pam.
