re: Todd Gurley Jerseys for sale in the UGA bookstore

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.

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.
