Aggies telling pros what to do. That's pretty impressive.
A&M is certainly within their rights to do this but I am curious as to how they are damaged or made any less whole by a pro team using the 12th man thing. Sounds like greed to me.

Trademark law is basically setup that if you own a trademark you have to be actively using it. If you're not using it then you lose the right to that trademark. The same goes that you have to be actively protecting it. If you become aware of incidents that may infringe on your trademark you have a duty to go out and investigate those and make a determination on whether you need to give somebody a call, send a cease and desist letter, or make a determination that it probably didn't infringe within the confines of what the law is and so no action is required.
