You could make a case that this includes a license to their likeness, and BYU reserves that right with each player, but only exercises it on some.

Even then, it's not such a big deal since they don't use names on fan jerseys.

If the P5 starts paying players BYU doesn't want to be involved in that

I almost laughed...we absolutely pay our players well (legally) compared to most

Any university that wants to make money off a player's likeness without

That's why they sell a jersey with a number but no name on the back.

Number is the same thing.

But what if I'm buying the #12 jersey now because I liked Beck, Nacua, or Sark?

Current player has the number, they get the money.

nope, no player can get paid for a number....terrible rabbit hole

How do you propose they split it between two players who wear the same number?

John Doe

Nope. Many times you have multiple players with the same number.

And yet we do compensate the players. We just don't use everyone's likeness

What if you bought one but want to take it back?

If it's within the return window, then okay? I don't see a problem.

BYU will drop all sports in an instant if that passes and many of the bigger

P5 doesn't want that either; only a handful could afford it; non-issue IMO
