LOCKED - Well I Guess I Struck First

[zerosktr151]

Don't know if anyone saw but me and a couple of coworkers made some Tyler Bray Back Tat T shirts and made a little noise on Saturday Down South, Yahoo Sports, and made it on some ESPNU show. Well UT Compliance has already contacted me saying its a NCAA Violation and a Cease and Desist "Tweet" who votes I keep goin j/k

I had not seen this. Pretty damn funny. Why is it a violation?

 

[MStateFan22]

Can't use players to make money. Guess even tattoos would apply.

 

[graphicBYdesign]

Take BRAY off, leave the stars and the number and it is good to go.

Donate the money you make back to UTenn and self-report to NCAA.

 

[zerosktr151]

That is...

A great idea

 

[DerHntr]

Well then zero needs to join the booster club for Tennessee and pass out the money in some handshakes to players.

It is an NCAA violation for whom? Do you work for UT? If you are not associated with a member university, then I don't think the NCAA has any authority over what you can put on a shirt. Tyler Bray and/or his tattoo "artist" might have copyright claims, but I don't really see how UT can complain

 

[GhostOfJackie]

Keep it up. Don't let it be known that you are an MSU fan though.

 

[ShrubDog]

Improper use of a Pentagram.

Careful

 

[tenureplan]

Shouldn't matter, the shirt is missing the back zits.

^This

just take his name off. Everyone will know it's him. Unless some other clown has a tat like this. I guess it's highly likely in Tennessee, though.

Just change one letter
Go with B R A K
then you just have to worry about the Cartoon Network's legal team.

The only recourse here for UT is if they hold legal rights to anything depicted on this shirt. Otherwise it is just pseudolegal bluffing to try and intimidate you. The fact that they cited NCAA violations indicates to me there is no legal standing here. But what can the NCAA do to you?

Were you aware the original thread on this is nearly three years old?
