"Like Curt Flood and Oscar Robertson, who paved the way for free
agency in sports, Ed O'Bannon decided there was a principle at
stake... O'Bannon gave the movement to reform college
sports...passion and purpose, animated by righteous indignation."
-Jeremy Schaap, ESPN journalist and New York Times bestselling
author In 2009, Ed O'Bannon, once a star for the 1995 NCAA Champion
UCLA Bruins and a first-round NBA draft pick, thought he'd made
peace with the NCAA's exploitive system of "amateurism." College
athletes generated huge profits, yet-training nearly full-time,
forced to tailor coursework around sports, often pawns in corrupt
investigations-they saw little from those riches other than
revocable scholarships and miniscule chances of going pro. Still,
that was all in O'Bannon's past...until he saw the video game NCAA
Basketball 09. As avatars of their college selves--their
likenesses, achievements, and playing styles-O'Bannon and his
teammates were still making money for the NCAA. So, when asked to
fight the system for players past, present, and future-and seeking
no personal financial reward, but rather the chance to make college
sports more fair-he agreed to be the face of what became a landmark
class-action lawsuit. Court Justice brings readers to the front
lines of a critical battle in the long fight for players' rights
while also offering O'Bannon's unique perspective on today's NCAA
recruiting scandals. From the basketball court to the court of law
facing NCAA executives, athletic directors, and "expert" witnesses;
and finally to his innovative ideas for reform, O'Bannon breaks
down history's most important victory yet against the inequitable
model of multi-billion-dollar "amateur" sports.
