More on O'Bannon v. NCAA

Yesterday I linked to my SI column on O'Bannon v. NCAA.

This case is generating a great deal of attention. Here are a variety of commentaries from different perspectives:

• Ed O'Bannon in his own words on Lost Letterman

• David Moltz, Inside Higher Ed, The Right Profile (Moltz interviews Sonny Vaccaro and Duke law professor Paul Haagen)

• William C. Rhoden, New York Times, A Lasting Image: Standing Up to the NCAA (Rhoden interviews Richard Southall of the College Sport Research Institute -- Richard has guest blogged here before and we've talked his important work)
  

• Pete Thamel, New York Times, O'Bannon v. NCAA

• Tim Lemke, Washington Times, O'Bannon Files Suit vs. NCAA

• Chris Herring (an attorney), Wall Street Journal, NCAA Hit With Another Suit Over Licensing Issue
  

• Kevin Arovitz, ESPN True Hoop, O'Bannon v. NCAA

• Darren Rovell, CNBC, NCAA Put on Defensive with Another Lawsuit
  

• Tom Magrino, GameSpot, NCAA Hit with New Sports-Sim Likenesses Suit

• Game Politics, Video Game Licensing a Key Issue as Former UCLA Star Leads New Lawsuit Against NCAA

• Tommy Craggs, Deadspin, Tall Car Salesman Poised to become the "Curt Flood of College Sports"
  

• UCLA Bruins Nation, Back in the Spotlight: Eddie O's Leading the Charge Against NCAA

• Rush the Court, Why Ed O'Bannon is Our New Favorite Likeness
  

Also, Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times has a thoughtful feature article on Sonny Vaccaro, who is an unpaid consultant for O'Bannon's legal team (meaning that he has no financial stake in the case). In a USA Today article, O'Bannon discussed being bothered by the NCAA's recent business ventures that included his image and likeness but that he had not considered suing until he was approached by Sonny and his wife and business partner, Pam.
