ESPN -> NCAA athletes can pursue TV money

In dismissing a motion by the NCAA to prevent football and men's basketball players from legally pursuing a cut of live broadcast revenues, a federal court judge Tuesday raised the stakes for the governing body of college sports as it defends its economic model.
Judge Claudia Wilken issued her ruling Tuesday, rejecting the NCAA's motion that players in the antitrust suit led by former UCLA star Ed O'Bannon should be precluded from advancing their lawsuit on procedural grounds.

Hopefully this means EA will also be able to use the names in their game.

I believe the lawsuit calls for the opposite. None of the players would resemble real life players. You`d just get a random roster of people. These are all former players who have filed suit. Current college players have no union and no power so they won't be getting anything. Which means gamers won't be getting anything either.
