Step 2 in freeing college athletes

A federal judge in Oakland cut some college football and basketball players in on the revenues the colleges derive from these players. The ruling applies only to football players in the top 10 conferences and all Division I men’s basketball players, but this is where most of the money lies. 

The ruling allows athletes to earn money from the use of their names and images in video games and television broadcasts, even if the names and images are used many years after their college athletics career is over.
