Experts say yes, but LaVar Ball doesn't care.[/URL] Excerpt from article: That could be a problem. NCAA bylaw 12.5.2.1(a) bars using an athlete’s “name or picture to advertise, recommend, or promote, directly the sale of a commercial product or service of any kind.” The bylaw has been invoked repeatedly in recent years, including former Louisiana State football running back Leonard Fournette’s family halting apparel sales through a website after the NCAA learned of it. “Clearly it’s in that violation spectrum for the NCAA,” said B. David Ridpath, a former college administrator who is professor of sports administration at Ohio University. I eagerly await the NCAA's findings! [/QUOTE]
