THE
WHEEL
SPEAKS
ON
2013
–
The
NCAA
&
Sports
Bilas-­‐trated
And
Expose……
Duke
associated
with
great
basketball
and
a
program
that
has
produce
some
stellar
student
athletes
in
particularly
those
more
notable
from
the
hardwood
for
years
in
some
urban
circles
have
been
literally
hated.
Hated
because
many
urban
kids
especially
those
into
sports
for
years
have
considered
Duke
and
anything
associated
with
Duke.
And
as
Jalen
Rose
formerly
of
the
Fab
Five
Michigan
team
of
the
90’s
was
quoted
as
saying.
"I
hated
Duke
and
I
hated
everything
Duke
stood
for.
Schools
like
Duke
didn't
recruit
players
like
me.
I
felt
like
they
only
recruited
black
players
that
were
Uncle
Toms,"
For
years
in
particularly
African
American
students
have
been
exploited
by
institutions
of
higher
learning
and
it
has
been
camouflaged
and
covered
up
for
decades.
And
now
quite
truthfully
because
of
a
young
Caucasian
quarterback
who
definitely
seems
very
consciously
to
be
raising
eyebrows
because
he
has
no
intent
on
being
ridden
like
a
slave
unless
he’s
getting
paid.
Let’s
not
fool
ourselves
here
Johnny
Manziel
the
winner
of
the
prestigious
Heisman
Trophy
is
no
fool
he
comes
from
a
privilege
family
where
oil
has
made
life
pretty
comfortable.
We
won’t
be
hearing
stories
about
him
receiving
anything
unless
he
wants
the
American
public
to
digest
this
as
we
saw
recently
with
the
signing
of
sports
equipment
news
that
just
was
release.

2. 2
Manziel’s
intent
in
some
circles
are
now
being
viewed
as
only
right
and
as
the
great
Jay
Bilas
of
Duke
University
just
tweeted
to
the
dismay
of
the
NCAA.
If
you
use
the
search
engine
of
ShopNCAASports.com,
type
the
name
"Johnny
Manziel"
and
end
up
on
a
page
filled
with
items
connected
to
Texas
A&M
and
Manziel's
jersey
number
despite
the
NCAA's
long
insistence
that
specific
jerseys
for
sale
aren't
connected
to
specific
players.
In
other
words
the
universities
are
getting
richer
and
richer
on
the
likeness
of
young
student
athletes
and
they
receive
absolutely
nothing.
If
we
named
names
over
these
last
10
years
or
so
especially
when
it
comes
down
to
the
student
athlete
and
money
what
in
my
opinion
makes
it
shameful
if
how
in
comparison
with
the
student
athletes
who
are
of
African
American
descent
or
Caucasian
how
the
Cam
Newton’s
or
Reggie
Bush’s
and
even
the
Chris
Webber’s
in
the
90’s
were
demonized
almost
as
if
the
violated
something
sacred?
And
as
time
marches
on
and
some
of
this
countries
most
respected
personalities
who
once
during
their
collegian
days
have
made
collectively
billions
of
dollars
for
various
universities
are
themselves
beginning
to
step
up
and
be
heard
as
well.
And
it
all
came
to
the
forefront
when
former
UCLA
Bruin
and
star
on
the
1995-­‐97
teams
Ed
O’Bannon
saw
himself
as
an
avatar
on
a
game
created
by
EA
Sports.
To
give
you
a
more
thorough
analysis
of
the
historic
ramifications
of
this
land
breaking
lawsuit
which
has
been
claim
and
in
current
litigation
please
review
the
below
article.
(to
give
you
a
little
insight
on
how
serious
it
is
and
the
billions
of
dollars
at
stake

the
section

The
biggest
story
in
college
sports
-­‐-­‐
perhaps
in
the
history
of
college
sports
-­‐-­‐
is
the
ongoing
federal
antitrust
lawsuit
filed
by
former
University
of
California,
Los
Angeles
basketball
star
Ed
O'Bannon
against
the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association.
Generally
speaking,
the
suit
makes
two
claims:
1. O'Bannon
and
other
former
college
players,
including
fellow
plaintiffs
Bill
Russell
and
Oscar
Robertson,
are
entitled
to
a
share
of
the
millions
of
dollars
in
revenue
the
NCAA
earns
from
video
games
and
other
products
that
use
their
names,
images
and/or
likenesses;
2.
Former
and
current
athletes
also
deserve
a
share
of
the
billions
of
dollars
in
television
revenue
the
association,
conferences
and
schools
earn
from
selling
sports
broadcast
rights.
On
both
fronts,
O'Bannon
and
the
other
plaintiffs
argue
that
college
sports
amateurism
-­‐-­‐
the
no-­‐pay-­‐for-­‐play
system
defined
and
enforced
by
a
cartel
of
schools
-­‐-­‐
acts
as
an
illegal
price-­‐fix,
a
trade-­‐restraining,
competition-­‐neutering
mechanism
that
prevents
athletes
from
realizing
their
market
value.
The
NCAA,
unsurprisingly,
argues
otherwise.

3. 3
A
few
weeks
ago,
a
federal
judge
in
California
held
a
hearing
to
help
determine
whether
to
certify
the
case
as
a
class
action
-­‐-­‐
a
crucial
decision,
given
that
the
potential
damages
to
the
association
resulting
from
a
class
action
loss
could
be
enormous
and
landscape-­‐altering,
whereas
a
lack
of
certification
likely
would
string
out
the
status
quo,
forcing
individual
athletes
to
bring
suits
and
go
through
trials
by
themselves.
A
certification
decision
is
expected
later
this
summer.
In
the
meantime,
NCAA
lawyer
Donald
Remy
has
accused
the
plaintiffs
of
engaging
"in
a
process
of
throwing
things
against
the
wall
to
see
if
anything
sticks."
Impressively,
Remy
said
this
with
a
straight
face.
During
the
certification
hearing
and
in
court
filings,
the
association
has
put
forth
a
crazy-­‐quilt
series
of
defenses
as
hypocritical
and
confounding
as
amateurism
itself.
In
legal
circles,
this
strategy
is
known
as
"alternative
pleading"
-­‐-­‐
offering
multiple,
simultaneous
theories
that
don't
have
to
square
with
each
other.

Collegian
sports
generates
billions
and
billions
and
billions
of
dollars
all
year
around
especially
with
the
inception
of
social
media
and
the
thousands
of
cable

all
around
the
country,
and
it
can’t
be
forgotten
those
prestigious
institutions
who
are
lucky
enough
to
receive
television
contracts.
The
University
of
Alabama
for
instance
probably
considered
the
top
program
in
the
country
just
signed
there
legendary
head
coach
Nick
Saban
to
a
contract
that
professional
coaches
foam
at
the
mouth
over
and
it’s
truly
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket
the
money
he
received
is
almost
comparable
to
a
child
being
given
a
penny
from
the
US
Treasury
pay
very
close
attention
to
this
statistics
from
the
year
2008
for
Alabama’s
football
program
yes
just
football
and
these
are
all
millions
just
image
what
the
numbers
are
now
being
the

gain
a
considerable
amount
more
of
notoriety
in

What
may
appear
as
a
phenomenon
is
dictated
by
you
as
well
I
the
consumer
and
throughout
this
country
for
every
team
or
Johnny
come
lately
phenomenon
of
a
player
that
suddenly
surfaces
it’s
all
created
and
branded
as
I
spoke
about
last
week.
Remember
how
when
we
were
young
and
ready
to
come
up
if
you
were
born
during
my
era
and
lived
as
a
young
man
in
the
90’s?
Man
nobody
wasn’t
telling
me
anything
and
guess
what
every
single
person
who
walk
by
me
knew
and
I
didn’t
have
to
say
a
word
and
there
was
a
generation
of
young
dudes
just
like
me
and
guess
who
we
attracted
to?

4. 4
We
attracted
to
who
walk
and
talk
like
us
and
in
those
days
in
sports
it
was
either
the
Miami
Hurricanes
aka
The
U
or
the
Georgetown
Hoyas
with
Patrick
Ewing.
Everyone
from
especially
recognized
African
American
athletes
and
entertainers
in
those
days
who
could
relate
wore
either
teams
apparel
making
a
statement
for
sure
and
not
shameful
about
it
expressing
our
selves
and
showing
solidarity.
But
a
funny
thing
happen
during
that
show
of
unity
which
is
even
scarier
it
showed
many
how
when
or
if
in
adverse
times
or
confronted
even
with
supposed
minimal
fundamental
skills
there
is
no
substitute
at
all
for
talent
and
determination
which
both
of
those
teams
embodied.
And
on
a
national
level
being
expose
to
young
impressionable
kids
in
urban
communities
all
around
the
world
in
sports
and
in
media
suddenly
we
had
images
and
people
emerging
that
this
society
surely
wasn’t
ready
to
deal
with
on
a
level
playing
field.
And
before
I
speak
more
in
detail
about
how
suddenly
crack
and
gun
violence
became
more
rampant
let
me
get
back
to
the
topic
and
we’ll
examine
this
at
a
later
point
with
another
feature
on
THE
WHEEL.
But
Universities
knew
exactly
what
to
do
and
that
was
to
exploit
those
images
of
that
era
and
in
every
sporting
goods
store
you
saw
a
Georgetown
shirt
jersey
or
hat
as
well
Miami
Hurricanes
and
in
particularly
anything
associated
with
amateur
sports
where
the
African
American
athlete
unbeknownst
to
many
of
us
in
that
era
was
being
ridden
and
herded
and
especially
exploited
just
like
slaves.
Yes
slaves
the
subject
that
many
who
knowingly
are
well
aware
of
the
trickery
try
to
avoid
and
very
effectively
throw
obstacles
on
a
national
level
to
deflect
what
is
more
prominent
in
todays
NCAA
than
ever.
The
NCAA
will
make
or
break
anything
it’s
created
and
entity
wise
there
is
absolutely
no
other
cohesive
conglomeration
of
institutions
like
it
and
will
never
be
indulge
me
as
I
go
a
little
further
with
my
personal
assessment.
Tim
Tebow…..I
know
I
know
hold
on
for
a
second
think
about
that
phenomenon
for
one
second?
Think
about
how
less
than
5
years
remove
from
a
sport
where
he
was
considered
the
very
best
how
he’s
competitively
hanging
on
a
limb
each
and
everyday
not
even
aware
of
if
he
really
will
have
a
roster
spot?
The
phenomenon
of
Tim
Tebow
was
created
and
in
2008
the
University
of
Florida
generated
$106,607,895
imagine
what
it
generated
while
he
was
there?
I
am
not
taking
anything
away
from
Tebow
at
all
I
actually
like
him
he
appears
to
be
a
great
kid
but
he
was
created,
the
phenomenon
was
a
necessity
in
order
for
the
University
of
Florida
to
continue
get
that
money
on
the
table.
(additional
2008
statistics
http://espn.go.com/ncaa/revenue)
Jay
Bilas
is
a
former
student
athlete
for
the
University
of
Duke
team
from
1982–
1986,
and
helped
lead
Duke
to
the
Final
Four
and
National
Championship
game
in
1986.
But
what
I
am
a
fan
of
when
I
speak
about
especially
former
athletes
like
Jay
Bilas
who
also
played
pro
ball
is
when
they
truly
comprehend
what
they’re
calling
and
eventual
mission
is
when
it
comes
down
to
what
is
right.
And
years
ago
his
own
University
had
a
very
public
scandal
that
went
national
involving
it’s
lacrosse
team
that
Bilas
very
verbal
about
which
shocked
millions
especially
Duke
administrators.

5. 5
(courtesy
of
Wikipedia)
Bilas
sharply
criticized
the
Duke
administration
for
its
lack
of
support
for
the
falsely
indicted
players
during
the
2006
Duke
lacrosse
case.
Describing
Richard
H.
Brodhead's
actions,
"President
Brodhead
chose
the
path
of
political
expediency.
He
failed
to
effectively
counter
factually
inaccurate
and
inappropriate
statements
about
Duke
and
its
students,
failed
to
forcefully
speak
out
against
procedural
irregularities,
and
failed
to
take
appropriate
action
in
response
to
repeated
attacks
upon
the
due
process
rights
of
Duke's
students."He
then
goes
on
to
call
for
Brodhead's
resignation,
as
well
as
for
Board
of
Trustee's
Chairman,
Robert
K.
Steel's,
"and
any
board
members
that
acted
in
lock
step
with
Brodhead."(end)
And
as
I
mention
early
Bilas
is
a
practicing
attorney
Bilas
most
notably
worked
on
the
case
Lyons
Partnership
v.
Morris
Costumes,
Inc.,
where
he
successfully
defended
the
costume
business
against
trademark
and
copyright
claims
brought
by
owners
of
the
popular
children's
television
character,
Barney
the
Dinosaur.
Which
makes
him
very
much
aware
of
the
ramification
of
infringement
of
in
particularly
an
individuals
likeness
and
being
fairly
compensated
for
what
is
rightfully
there’s
which
has
been
utilized
without
consent
and
it’s
the
usage
of
an
individuals
identity
and
likeness.
It’s
in
a
nutshell
like
being
the
President
of
the
United
States
for
example
a
position
held
by
an
elite
exclusive
group
of
only
44
people
and
it’s
laughable
when
someone
makes
any
claim
to
have
even
almost
have
won
an
election.
There’s
no
such
thing
as
close
to
it
or
almost
point
blank
athletes
are
being
used
and
should
be
paid
when
you
see
a
Michigan
Wolverine
shirt
and
you’re
my
age
you
still
think
of
Chris
Webber
if
it’s
number
4
just
as
you
think
immediately
of
Micheal
Jordan
to
this
day
in
a
North
Carolina
23
jersey
and
I’ve
name
2
players
who
didn’t
even
finish
there
4
years
at
the
mention
universities.
Johnny
Manziel
is
a
privilege
Caucasian
kid
who’s
doing
absolutely
the
same
exact
thing
that
Cam
Newton
and
Reggie
Bush
and
Chris
Webber
and
so
many
African
American
kids
did
incentive
wise
for
the
families,
but
still
they’ve
have
been
labeled.
As
Cam
was
in
the
draft
or
as
Reggie
Bush
was
when
he
left
USC
early
where
to
a
certain
extent
the
man
responsible
for
literally
destroying
the
credibility
of
the
entire
university
(USC)
is
celebrated
even
more
now
than
what
he
was
in
college
Pete
Carroll.
And
very
rare
in
this
society
will
we
ever
hear
of
a
coach
on
the
professional
level
or
even
college
level
being
demonized.
Look
how
quickly
that
entire
Penn
State
scandal
literally
disappeared
along
with
the
status
of
coach
Joe
Paterno
at
that
campus?
Reason
being
and
I’ll
proceed
on
is
that
the
universities
knew
the
entire
time
exactly
what
was
going
on
there’s
absolutely
no
way
possible
it
couldn’t
have.
And
with
that
being
what
it
is
how
can
we
hate
any
young
man
who
choses
consciously
to
invest
in
his
or
her
self?
Making
an
investment
in
there
own
future
especially
in
the
event
that
they
are
physically
capable
of
enduring
all
the
rigors
that
come
along
with
the
physical
and
mental
demands
of
being
a
professional?
As
we
well
know
for
many
years
high
school
players
were
allowed
to
completely
skip
college
and
go
directly
to
the
league
speaking
NBA
right
now.

6. 6
Now
high
school
must
wait
a
year
or
at
least
until
there
20th
birthday
before
entering
the
draft
so
you’ll
get
a
lot
of
one
and
done
players.
Since
the
rules
no
longer
allow
high
school
players
to
be
drafted
straight
to
the
professional.
Many
of
us
know
that
Kobe
Bryant
and
Kevin
Garnett
skipped
high
school
to
enter
the
NBA.
Most
of
my
era
remember
Chocolate
Thunder
Darryl
Dawkins
and
the
great
Moses
Malone
who
both
went
into
the
league
years
ago.
But
how
many
of
us
remember
the
first
player
to
enter
NBA
and
skip
high
school?
It
was
a
dude
name
Reggie
Harding
way
back
in
1962.
Reggie
Harding
was
drafted
in
the
fourth
round
of
the
1962
Draft
by
the
Detroit
Pistons
although
he
did
sit
out
a
year
and
didn't
play
until
1963-­‐64.
Suddenly
African
American
families
saw
a
glimmer
of
hope
which
all
evolved
around
quite
honestly
a
sport
and
many
of
us
can
relate
to
these
hoop
dreams
that
many
in
the
urban
communities
still
have
being
how
the
athlete
is
still
manipulated
more
than
50
years
later.
And
probably
over
10
years
later
there’s
some
university
administrator
or
even
a
college
president
who
hates
somebody
like
Lebron
James
with
a
passion
thinking
he’d
possibly
come
to
there
college
and
generate
who
knows
maybe
even
billions
when
it
comes
down
to
social
media
and
the
internet
today?
In
this
article
I
previously
mention
former
UCLA
student
athlete
Ed
O'Bannon
who
is
the
lead
plaintiff
in
an
antitrust
class
action
lawsuit
filed
against
the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA)
on
behalf
of
its
Division
I
football
and
men's
basketball
players
over
the
organization's
use
for
commercial
purposes
of
the
images
of
its
former
student
athletes.
The
suit
argued
that
upon
graduation,
a
former
student
athlete
should
become
entitled
to
financial
compensation
for
future
commercial
uses
of
his
or
her
image
by
the
NCAA.
Bottom
line
is
if
you
become
synonymous
with
an
image
of
a
brand
no
matter
who
is
the
governing
entity
the
law
isn’t
designed
only
to
benefit
anyone
unless
a
release
or
waver
authorizes
exclusivity
of
the
brand
or
image.
And
although
this
case
will
be
in
litigation
for
possibly
years
there’s
one
thing
I
can
say
for
sure
the
last
person
we’ll
see
with
regularity
on
television
will
be
Jay
Bilas.
And
when
of
if
he
does
surface
during
the
NCAA
college
season
you
better
believe
producers
of
that
segment
will
be
fast
to
totally
shut
his
microphone
down
if
he
does
what
he’s
already
been
consistent
in
doing.
He’s
one
of
a
rare
breed
today
especially
in
sports
media
where
many
of
the
analyst
that
are
place
in
front
of
us
daily
there
are
because
they’re
do
anything
to
eat
so
they’ll
dance.
You
could
say
the
NCAA
in
particularly
sports
has
been
Bilas-­‐strated
and
expose
for
exactly
what
it
is
and
might
possibly
always
be
and
my
question
is
will
the
field
ever
be
level
at
all?
