Today at the Ed O'Bannon trial:
*Stanford's AD explained why it's okay for the school to sell photographs of individual players but would ruin the spirit of amateurism if the athlete himself received any of the money earned.
*The plaintiffs showed photographs of the therapy pool with cascading waterfalls in the Alabama locker room after an SEC witness claimed schools would go broke if they had to pay players any sort of stipend.
*The NCAA admitted that you can go on its website and buy the individual jerseys of just about any star player you please; the players receive nothing. And that's in order to protect them. Good heavens, it's not about the money!!
