If it is just pictures of former stars, I don't have a problem with it. Should we pay royalties to everyone who has a picture in the Bryant Museum?
Huge difference. The museum is a non-for-profit shrine to the legends of the university. A university selling his likeness for their own profit and the profit of the sponsor is completely different. His argument is that he's no long an amateur, therefore he's due compensation off of any profit that the school derives from his likeness.

Spielman even said in his interviews that this never would have been an issue had the university not involved corporate sponsors on his image. He wouldn't sue for having a statue or a picture on university property.
