In most cases when there is a set of rules, the rules usually end up being broken or a controversy arises through them more often than not. In the NCAA's situation, there have been instances in which problems with their rules have led to insufficient results. For example, former UCLA bas-ketball player Ed O'Bannon filed his own lawsuit against the NCAA (McEldowney 3). The law-suit he had filed was for illegally using his own and other athletes’ pictures commercially at the will of the NCAA without permission (Malone 2). The main sports that it had covered were for basketball and football, but stretched to cover the entirety of college athletes. Eventually, the court ruled in favor with O'Bannon, ruling that an athlete could earn up to $5,000
