NCAA’s top lawyer ready to keep fighting in O’Bannon case

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy says the law is on the NCAA’s side in the Ed O’Bannon case and that he’s not ready to give up the fight.

Remy told The Associated Press he is still willing to go to the U.S. Supreme Court if the NCAA loses its appeal at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

If it stands, the ruling would allow some football and men’s basketball players to be compensated for the use of their names, images or likenesses in video games and TV broadcasts.

South Carolina President Harris Pastides, the NCAA’s new chairman of the board, told CBSsports.com it was “time to turn the page” on the legal battle.

The NCAA issued a statement Monday night that says it is keeping all legal options open.
