Blake Myers Case Study

The Philadelphia Ball Club was challenging a judgment from Pennsylvania’s trial court, which refused to enforce an injunction against Lajoie for breach of his contract. The court felt that to do so would render Lajoie so valuable to the ball club that his breach of contract would lead to irreparable damages. The court felt that the player’s value was not that high, and that the language in the contract in which the ball club could discharge the player at anytime without the player being allowed to do the same lead to this decision.

In 1995, several years after he stepped down as the NCAA’s executive director of 36 years, Walter Byers published Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Exploiting College Athletes. The title didn’t belie the book’s content. Among Byers’ confessions was the deception he sought in coining the well-worn phrase “student-athlete” to describe college athletes.

The article, ‘Judge: Cop Killer Brandon Daniel competent can dismiss lawyers’ published in July of 2015, talks about Daniel’s case—overall punishment. This article is about a twenty-six year old man, Brandon Daniel, who murdered an Austin, Texas police officer.

Both, Brandon Daniel and Padron were wrestling on the floor when the officer was shot dead. In this situation, this murder is considered capital murder. When an individual is sentenced with capital murder, they are sentenced execution or in other words the death penalty. Texas is known for having the highest number of death penalties since 1976. However in this case,

Student athletes face a major problem that the NCAA holds them accountable. If any student athlete commits what is held as an NCAA violation they are forced to miss playing time or other consequences as well. NCAA violations have become a chronic problem in collegiate sports. When students violate the NCAA rules it can jeopardize their future career in whatever sport they are playing. Some of the rules don’t even make sense they are just useless. These rules need to be dealt with in order for the students to just be able to go along with their lives.

There are rules and regulation for everything. The DMV requires certain forms of identification for your driver’s license and the IRS requires you to file your income tax in a certain way to avoid penalty. It is no different when we are talking about the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). NCAA has strict regulation on its players and its member schools that must abide by. Although NCAA regulates pretty much everything through its 427-page manual, some rules were difficult if not impossible to enforce. In the case of Oliver v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, the conflict emerges as Andy Oliver questioned NCAA’s power to regulate in the face of court.

Football, flag football and cheerleading will begin practice next week, and games will start Sept. 22, said program director Allison East.

The Josh Powell case is a tragic one that tells the story of a clearly emotionally unstable man that reached the end of his rope and made a horrible decision. In 2009 the police were looking into Josh as a possible suspect in the missing of his wife Susan. Josh was never charged for the disappearance of Susan and was allowed to have full custody of his two sons following the investigation.

Why would you make all of these rules and say they are student athletes when they are anything but students. It seems like that The NCAA knows what there doing and doing it on

In 1906, the NCAA was formed to protect student-athletes by incorporating a compliance approach to ethics which would ensure student-athletes are not being exploited or endangered by developing and enforcing rules that lay out three types of violations and their corresponding penalties in order to keep games fair and respectful of student-athlete rights. In today’s world of college football which has become more of a business, rather just a sport, that can bring in millions of dollars as well as thousands of college applications yearly to many universities, the NCAA is there to prevent unethical behavior by objectively setting and enforcing standards of conduct while encouraging universities to also set up their own systems of compliance.

The author writes, “‘Look kids, I don’t know what you heard, but my guess is you misunderstood. Hoops is right. There’s a lot wrong with college basketball, but game fixing may be the one thing I really don’t worry about. Any player who actually could fix a game at this level would be risking millions to do it.’” (Feinstein 57)

Now imagine that injured student-athlete at home with a pile of medical bills, no longer attending the university that he once adored, playing a video game that’s using his image and likeness. He wonders why he can’t receive a share of the monies profited from the sell of the game. He’s not alone. Many student-athletes do not know that they sign away their right to profit from their image or likeness when they enter into NCAA sports. In fact, the very same rights that the student-athlete releases are now owned by the NCAA and its licensees. Meaning, the NCAA and its licensees can do whatever it feels with your image and likeness to turn a profit for them. Former college athletes recently put together a federal class-action lawsuit against the NCAA stating that the use of their image or likeness is infringing their rights. Also, stating that the NCAA forces the athletes to sign away their rights in order to play college sports. This happens year after year due to the fact that college athlete are not properly informed of their legal rights. A survey was taken and according to Wolverton (2011), 97 percent of respondents liked being featured in video games, and two-thirds believed that the way the NCAA and video-game companies used their image or likeness was fair. But only 33 percent believed that their athletic scholarship was sufficient payment for the use of their image or likeness. If these student-athletes don’t know what they are signing the outcome could be
