Also, how do you feel about this?
It's bullshite that they claim it's not Gurley jersey and that people are just buying a generic UGA jersey.
They should either have to pay the player royalties or have it contractually included in the scholarship that the school can sell the player's jersey.
Jay Bilas fricking crushed the NCAA on this issue last year. He basically went to the NCAA's online store and typed in players' names in the search box, which directed him to their jersey. This after the NCAA claimed that people were just buying the school's jersey, when they had players names as a keyword on their own site.
NCAA football video games were even more egregious. AJ Green wasn't in the game, but WR #8 for UGA was a freaking baller. That guy had a different facemask than Green though, so it was cool.

Let me preface this by saying I agree it's complete bullshite and almost everyone buying the jersey is doing so because it's a Gurley jersey. The NCAA and schools claiming people buy it because it's a school jersey and has nothing to do with the players is ridiculous.
But when selling a certain number, I wonder how they'd work out the percentages. Such as, when does it stop being a Shockley jersey and start being a Gurley jersey? I know in that situation there has been a good bit of time between the two. But numbers like #1 are always used by someone, and generally someone who will play a decent bit.
I feel like a lot of this murkiness that's built into it is another layer the schools and NCAA use to justify keeping things how they are because "it'd just be too complicated to change" when in reality we know why they don't want to.
