I didn’t leave anything out, you’re a fraud who thinks UK protecting their IP like every school in the country does is a restriction. A restriction at UK but not any other school. You sell to the world that recruits coming to UK has restrictions that others schools don’t have.Thats how big of a UK hating fraud you are.You left out the rest of the quote hero. Thus making it a strawman. You are arguing the ONLY portion of what I said that you can try and debate. Because that sentence, without the rest of what I said, looks inaccurate. I mean, that is how sentence structure works. There is a statement and punctuation, followed by explanation sentences or questions. Pretty rudimentary paragraph formatting.
I am not desperate to tear our program down you dolt. I would 100% set the JMI deal on fire and pee on the ashes though. No contract in this era should be 15 years, no matter how good it is. Our administration has done more to tear our program down than a random poster on a basketball forum ever could. You continue to lie, make up erroneous arguments to thump your chest, get banned, create a new account, and pretend like you are somehow gatekeeping our program. Grow up man, seriously. You have no idea what you are talking about and continue to pretend like you do by picking out snippets of things that are said that you feel confident in trying to argue on.
Question JMI shill. How much of a percentage does JMI get when a player wants to use the UK logo for a Clarke's Pump and Shop commercial? Is that more, equal, or less than every other University in the country that trademarks their logo through a licensing company? Is the UK logo more, equal, or less valuable than Murray State, Bethel College, or Berea? Would it be more expensive and less profitable to use UK's logo for promotional deals than Murray State, Bethel College, or Berea? Would an agent find it more restrictive and more difficult to try and work with UK licensing or Murray State, Bethel College, or Berea?
This is what you said verbatim.
“No. They are preventing players from doing outside 3rd party endorsement deals using licensed UK logos, images, media, and intellectual property. Which is a completely different thing. You can still do outside deals (Trent Noah has multiple), but JMI has to give you permission (and gets a slice) if you want to wear UK gear doing it or branding doing it.”
It’s not a diffent thing, you’re utterly clueless as to how anything works. At UK, like at every school in the country, you have to have a licensing agreement to use their logo or IP. That’s just an objective fact no matter what Matt Jones or your message board buddies tell you. JMI connects athletes with UK partners who already have licensing deals with UK so athletes can use the logo in those deals. The licensing agreement has already been paid for by the corporate partner as a part of their partnership with UK. At every school in the country, you can do 3rd party deals but that school has to give you permission if you want to use their logo schools branding and logo to do it. It’s just a UK or JMI thing as you keep insinuating. Do some actual research and stop attacking UK with these dumb lies.
