Nike now has a back door for paying for endorsements. Use an athlete's name or image, let him sue and then settle.

RE: Johnny Manziel can keep the money? 

After the court looks to the uniqueness of the name (in this case its not unique at all and does have some 1st amendment tension) then they are going to look to whether there is "confusion" (in this case meaning a false belief by the public that Manziel endorsed the shirt, mug, etc.) and I've got wonder if the fact that he is amateur player will hurt his argument for "confusion." I think most people assume that shirts made for amateur players are not sponsored, endorsed, etc by the player.

Jeremy Bloom should have been allowed to get and keep his Olympic endorsements. I can't believe they let Baseball players make money then go back to college as a amatuer, but Bloom did winter olympics and could not except anything but his Medal.

RE: Johnny Manziel can keep the money? 

The O’Bannon-led suit — also joined by Oscar Robertson and Bill Russell — is challenging the N.C.A.A. system that allows schools to retain the marketing rights to players’ names, images and likenesses not only during their careers but in perpetuity. The video game company Electronic Arts and the Collegiate Licensing Co., are co-defendants in the case.
