To my former students taking the 2nd day of bar exam today, everyone else taking it feels tired too. You can do it. Also, don't listen to people after the exam talk about answers. They'll mention things you didn't write. Doesn't mean they're right. Once it's over, go celebrate.🏆

He brought the case against NCAA & EA over the illegal use of players' likenesses in video games. That case made NIL in college sports possible. @Ed_OBannon now writes an exclusive column for @Sportico on the return of EA's College Basketball Video Game: https://t.co/g1tMhgxx0G.

6. O’Bannon vs the NCAA was crucial bc the concept of the NCAA monetizing the NIL of college athletes without their permission and compensation went unchallenged until @Ed_OBannon fmr college POY courageously put his name on landmark case—and the rest is history. At UCLA Law ⤵️

Bill Russell, RIP, played a key role in civil rights and U.S. sports law. The 1st time "name, image & likeness" appeared in a sports case was in 1986, Kenyatta Corp. v. IRS, involving Russell using a company for NIL. In 2011, Russell joined @Ed_OBannon in defeating NCAA over NIL.
