It was former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon who started the debate many years ago with a law suit against the NCAA over using his name, image and likeness without his permission.
I grew up in the hey days of Georgetown with the Late Big John Thompson, Jim Boheim at Syracuse, Coach K at Duke, and many other iconic coaches and players that played and coached during that time. Players stayed in school two or three seasons, and some of them even stayed in school to graduate and were four year players.
