Post-opening banter, we discuss: Daniels sends cease-and-desist to LSU after Pickett given No. 5In Sudden $12.5B Lakers Sale, Big Questions RemainSources: Josh Kushner, Bob Iger to buy Lakers for…
So, actually, weirdly, I wonder if Jaden Daniels would have been helped to have a union in his college contracts.
But let's move on to what is kind of chewed up You know, this story became like a, you know, USA Today front page type story, let alone like national sports stories.
This brouhaha between Jason Daniels and his, I don't even know if you call him an alma mater anymore, but a place in which he played his best college football that happened to be LSU.
And now there's cease and desist, there's lawsuits, there's hurt feelings, and there is a PR nightmare.
But regardless, so what has happened here is Jane Daniels team, which is really just his mother.
and and a lawyer have sent a letter a cease and desist letter to ls oh well first of all this is stories all we've got a couple stories but the one i'm looking at right now is from bleacher report called daniel sins lsu cease and desist letter regarding decision to give number five jersey to current player dated august 13th and it is uncredited and so the point here is in the title of the story jason jane daniels attorney sent them a cease and desist letter it says you can no longer use my name image and likeness associated you know in in conjunction with promoting lsu football or lsu and the reason why he did this is apparently because the school allowed a corner dj pickett to wear number five jane daniels was number five at lsu he's number five in washington the reason why they allowed this corner DJ Pickett to wear number five is that the former coach what's his name Brian Kelly promised Pickett he could have number five during the recruiting process and so now the new coach said hey listen it was you know which is by the way Lane Kiffin A
Who's, who's a, who's, who's a bastion of integrity and character, high moral, moral character said, Hey, you know, the, the organization promised this kid, he can use number five.
And so hence the removal of the name image likeness now, but so yeah, And that part is dumb, right? But it's actually a bigger question, which is what I wanted to pose to you.
Because, yes, these universities, you know, the Heisman winners, you know, the universities like to promote them, obviously, you know, in various ways.
But the question is, should they continue, to me, this is, rather than the pettiness of Jane Daniels, the real question is, What sort of contractual agreement should there be in today's world with the players in light of the NIL rules, which allow the current existing players to make money? So it may be that maybe Daniels, despite his pettiness, deserves to have a large contract with LSU.
But there's actually two reasons why you cannot count him as LSU being Jaden Daniels' alma mater, because he did, in fact, in three years graduate.
