drbob Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · College photo licensing revisited Revisiting my question from a couple months ago, posted Here . I did speak with someone from the University's athletic department. Since I was offering this print to a limited group (Marching Band members), they didn't have an issue with it and considered it "under the radar". Thanks again for feedback at the time. Not as many sales as I'd like, but they do represent my first "official" print sales. I may be biased with two kids in the band, but the Marching Band is certainly performing better than the team By the way, here is the final version... Not sure how to post it bigger (it's linked from my fotki site). thanks for looking. bob Nov 19, 2009 at 01:31 AM

Carl Auer Offline Dedicated FM Moderator Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · College photo licensing revisited Bob, just to clear up confusion in posts to come I am sure, it breaks down like this. The NCAA does not want anyone to profit off of NCAA student athletes other than themselves (NCAA) their schools, and that is it. It can risk students eligibility according to the NCAA. That being said, the NCAA can not police all the schools, sports, websites, etc, so they leave that to the individual schools to police. Some schools do not have a problem with it, some schools have a problem with it, some schools interpret the rules correctly, some do not, some schools just do not know period. If you have the ok from the school themselves, you are ok, unless the school gets a message from the NCAA that the photos are in violation (basically someone bought a photo from you and turned around and did something other than personal use with it and the NCAA caught wind of it). So, as for the Marching Band, do they have eligibility like sports? The only thing I could see that might be a flag is the logo on the field and in all honesty, that is covered up pretty good. If the school SID is ok with it, your good. Nov 19, 2009 at 01:43 AM

drbob Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · College photo licensing revisited Thanks for the response Carl. No eligibility issues for MB as far as I know. The guy in the athletics department did see the image, by the way. I guess I was half expecting some semi-formal limitations... but he really didn't sound very concerned at all. bb Nov 19, 2009 at 01:52 AM

Scott Sewell Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · College photo licensing revisited How big is that band, Bob? Looks smaller than what I might expect from MN. Either way, be biased about having kids in the band! It's awesome, isn't it? Nov 19, 2009 at 02:09 AM

drbob Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · College photo licensing revisited I thought FM's other resident Band Parent might chime in... Last I heard the Pride of Minnesota was about 320 members strong (the largest in its 118 year history, partially owing to the new stadium). I think the pre-game show (the photo in the poster), only uses about 270 or so. The half time show uses everybody. Quite a difference from our HS band of about 65! Yeah, band pretty much rocks. Our band has done in indoor end of season show for almost 50 years, and it is this weekend, so we're excited about that. Does K State do anything like that? OK, since you mentioned it, I'll post my most recent PDWC (Proud Dad With Camera) picture from the last home game. Thanks for looking. bb Nov 19, 2009 at 02:44 AM

Scott Sewell Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · College photo licensing revisited Sent you a PM, Bob. But I will proudly post one of my recent favs. It was taken by a friend of mine (and I'm using it with his permission! ). Me, Hollyann and Sean after a recent football game. I don't think it gets much better than doing something I enjoy, while having my daughter and son doing things they also enjoy right along side me. Nov 19, 2009 at 02:58 AM
