If they really open it up I would think they're opening themselves up to more legal action.

Like I said, we really haven't seen what the ruling was to know how far this goes. I can't imagine that creating a similarly structured league would be covered in any way under this ruling to be honest. This is about likenesses. If you do the NCAA structure with randomly generated players, I find it hard to believe that it would be restricted by this ruling.
