Player likeness

    Likeness - what are typical player "likenesses" that the colleges use?

    Likeness that counts for a player share would be something other than normal sport promotion. Things like roster pictures (even if in a retail program or memento book), group/team photos, and candid snaps of players used to illustrate online or press releases should NOT count as a likeness qualifying for compensation. The tricky one is a photo used in a team/school advertisement, perhaps. Might depend on the copy with it. "See Fleet O'Foot break his x record, this week" Yes? No? If Fleet posed for a photo but the ad copy doesn't mention him - Yes?

    Merchandise would always qualify for compensation. A banner with Fleet's name or likeness would qualify. Photographs for framing - same thing. Probably not an item with a team photo - ?

    Then there is player initiated efforts. Not keen on that. Sell autographs/merchandise? Get an endorsement deal? Not for me.
