You have the school selling the players image to video games so they make money off of the player without the player getting anything.  And Im not only talking about while they are in school, im talking 5, 10, 15 years down the road.  Tyrone Prothro was a great WR at Alabama before he got injured on this play, [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbvx5DYS6tE&feature=related]YouTube - Alabama Receiver Tyrone Prothro Snaps Leg[/ame]but before he broke his leg, he made this play. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53imC4zojfc]YouTube - Prothro's Catch[/ame]And now every time someone like ESPN, NBC, CBS, ect wants to use it they have to pay a small fee.  Should the player get any of that?  I mean its his body he put on the line and his career that went up in smoke on the field.</blockquote>
