Why cut off a potential revenue stream if they're willing to go through the proper channels and lend due credence to the copyright holder?

Again, the purpose isn't exclusivity--it is proprietary control.

My entire point. All im saying is I think your administration has their beliefs in the investment of the copyright and not making a tradition exclusive to College Station. Oman has good points though. You just keep telling me I don't understand copyright when I'm just talking about what I think 'the 12th man' means to your administration and west coast is just straight butthurt. Goodness.

You are so dense.
Why didn't they do the same with Seattle? Maybe because they were willing to throw 150k on it?

You say a&m is just trying to make money off this. I say give me examples, you say you don't have one but no organization could pay for it like the Seahawks can. I ask what about the colts? And you don't respond. Now I am asking how our actions in regard to this instance points to a&m just trying to make money off it and now I'm butthurt

because it was an infinity different situation 20 years ago. Jesus Christ. If a&m simply wanted to make money off this, why continue to do exactly what you say we should do and tell them to stop? Why wouldn't we just come to them and tell them we were willing to let them use it if they wanted to pay us?

I've told you twice, no, now 3 times that I'm not talking about the Colts and that I understand the situation with the colts.

Brick wall.

So why do you get to use one example to make a completely idiotic assumption but I can't do the same thing?

When they are a prime example of how off base you are with you assumption on Texas a&m and how it views the 12th man trademark? Yes

It's not complicated at all. An exclusive binding agreement by law that gives you full right of permissions over said trademark.

Explain this to me. The administration doesn't want to make it exclusive? Since when? How long have their actions reflected this? Are there any circumstances that would make them alter the stance you think they have in any way? And who is the "administration" exactly? The marketing team? Do you know how often that changes?

we are still waiting on this. Apparently because we took money from the Seahawks years ago in an infinitely different situation, it indicates that a&m uses its trademark protection as a money grab. He wants us just to tell people to stop. And even though that's exactly what we are doing right now with the colts, it doesn't matter because apparently he isnt talking about the Colts

Ah. Only read the last page. Makes sense. This guy made a really dumb claim and just dug deeper when challenged. Happens all the time from swamp kittens.
