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: sportico.com/personalities/a….

"I don’t blame EA for not publishing a game sooner. The NCAA and colleges wouldn’t have allowed EA to use their intellectual property in a game where EA did right by the players." Outstanding op-ed by @Ed_OBannon--who fought in court for college athletes to have same economic rights as their classmates--on the return of college sports video games. sportico.com/leagues/college…

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.
