A class action lawsuit against the NCAA, known commonly as the Ed O’Bannon lawsuit, is finally on the way to some kind of resolution. Originally filed in 2009 against videogame makers over their use of former athlete’s likenesses in their games, the suit has expanded to include former and current players and the NCAA. A federal judge has ordered the parties to enter settlement talks, with a trail date in June if those talks don’t resolve the issues. Joining us to talk about where the case is and where it might be going are Ellen Staurowsky, a professor of sports management at Drexel University and Sonny Vaccaro, sports marketing pioneer and long time NCAA critic.
