Licensing monopoly sued for violating anti-trust laws Laura Furr Staff Writer

MORGAN SEARLES / The Daily Reveille

LSU, along with 27 Football Bowl Subdivision schools, was sent a cease and desist letter June 9, claiming universities are violating anti-trust laws.

The warning was sent to the University because of its affiliation with the most powerful name in collegiate merchandise, IMG College, and its licensing division, The Collegiate Licensing Company.

IMG, a global sports and media business formally known as International Management Group, acquired Host Communications and the CLC in 2007.

It now represents more than 150 universities, nine collegiate conferences, 15 bowl games and seven other athletic institutions in the United States, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association and NCAA Football.

Any business wishing to produce a product with the LSU trademark or logo must haggle with the CLC to legally become a licensee.

The University allows more than 2,000 businesses to sell LSU merchandise, ranging from T-shirts to ringtones.

According to Lee Ann Lockridge, University law professor, difficulties arose when the CLC allegedly tried to reduce the number of licensees, allowing companies to raise merchandise prices.

A Washington, D.C. law firm representing “various stakeholders who share a common interest in preserving competition and choice” sent the letter demanding the IMG, CLC and universities stop “concerted efforts” to limit the number of merchandise manufacturers.

BUDGET

AgCenter considers exigency

Steven Powell Editor-in-Chief

The LSU AgCenter, facing a budget deficit of $3 million, could declare financial exigency.

AgCenter Chancellor Bill Richardson outlined the program’s financial troubles at the Board of Supervisors meeting Friday and said he plans to discuss with officials whether he will request exigency status at the next Board meeting in August.

Exigency would allow the AgCenter to lay off contract and tenured employees. Exigency can hurt an institution’s credibility and damage its reputation, especially when recruiting faculty and researchers.

“We just can’t continue to operate in this fashion and maintain core programs,” Richardson said Friday.

Three research stations closed last year because of low funding.

The institution has endured a 13 percent funding cut over the past three fiscal years.

Richardson said officials can’t raise tuition to fill budget holes since the AgCenter doesn’t enroll students.

The AgCenter last declared exigency in 2006 following years of budget cuts, according to a 2006 news release.

Mom, four kids pulled from burning house, where they were stabbed

Rain floods streets in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) —Hundreds of Mexican soldiers have finished burning thousands of plants at a massive marijuana plantation discovered last week in Baja California.

The Mexican government has called the 300-acre (120 hectare) marijuana field the biggest such plantation ever found in the country.

The field had escaped detection for several months in part because it was covered by shade cloth.

Nelson Mandela celebrates 93rd birthday in South Africa

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A mother and her four young children who were pulled from a burning house Monday had stab wounds and died.

The father was under police watch.

Authorities said medics initially treated the victims on the lawn of the small house for smoke inhalation, but it later became clear the victims had also been stabbed.

They were all pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital.

Autopsies are pending and police are investigating.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A stalled low-pressure system dumped up to 13 inches of rain in southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi Monday, flooding streets and highways and a few New Orleans-area residences.

The highest unofficial total was 13 inches in Pass Christian, Miss., National Weather Service meteorologist Tim Destri said.

Floods closed several miles of U.S. 90 but did little if any damage to buildings, officials said.

“We ain’t had rain in two months, and now it comes in bunches,” Pass Christian Mayor Leo “Chipper” McDermott said.

Tyler Hadley of Port St. Lucie is being held on two counts of firstdegree murder in the deaths of his parents. The bodies were discovered early Sunday morning after police received a tip.

Police believe the parents were already dead when the teen used Facebook to invite friends to his house for a party Saturday night.

ST. BERNARD (AP) — Authorities planned to resume their search Monday for an 11-year-old girl who was thrown from a boat following a collision with another boat in southeastern Louisiana.

The accident happened about 5:30 p.m. Saturday in Shell Beach Bayou in St. Bernard Parish.

Searchers looked for the girl Saturday evening and Sunday.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

SG President calls special session Senators submit bills to amend codes, rules Rachel Wilson Contributing Writer

Student Government President Cody Wells called a special session of the SG Senate last week.

Senators Tyler Loga, De Andre’ Beadle, Karla Frias and Scott Sullivan submitted a bill to amend the Student Government election code.

This bill would allow for the election period to be determined by academic weeks rather than by a set date.

Also, there would be a prequalifying period for candidates, and there would be two weeks of passive campaigning and one week of active campaigning.

The biggest issue with the old election code was a lack of inclusion and definition of social media usage. The new code

would cover this grey area more clearly.

Loga also submitted a bill to amend the Senate rules of order.

The bill would remove a clause stating that voting should not be done by electronic devices, and it would allow for the use of clickers.

Loga said the purpose of allowing electronic voting would be to streamline the Senate meetings and save time.

Senate Speaker Aaron Caffarel has also submitted a bill — one that would allocate $2,278.45 from the SG surplus account to fund the purchase of clickers for the Senate.

Caffarel told The Daily Reveille at a June Summer Planning Committee meeting he was hesitant to use student fees for these clickers.

Caffarel said Monday that surplus dollars are a combination of SG accounts from previous administrations that didn’t utilize funds. Caffarel said he approached the Union for clicker funding, but they denied

his request.

Having the money taken from the SG surplus won’t take away from the current student fees.

Caffarel said the clickers would be a long-term expenditure that will prove beneficial for the Senate.

The Senate will meet Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the Capital Chamber in the LSU Student Union.

Green leaving LSU to pursue grad degree

Nola brothers fulfill dream of playing together at LSU Mark Clements

Contributing Writer

Every young athlete dreams of making it to the big leagues one day.

Being offered a professional contract out of high school would be enough to sway many young athletes to forgo their educations for America’s favorite pastime.

Not the Nola brothers.

Senior Tiger shortstop Austin Nola and his brother, incoming freshman pitcher Aaron Nola, both had that opportunity, and both passed on it, choosing to continue their educations.

“It was going to take a lot of money for me to get away from LSU,” Aaron Nola said. “For me, I wasn’t stressing about it at all. I think we made the right decisions for both of us.”

Three years ago, Austin was in the same position as his brother, a highly touted high school prospect weighing the options for his future.

He was selected in the 48th round of the 2008 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies.

In the 2011 Draft,

Staff Reports LSU men’s basketball forward Garrett Green will transfer from LSU to pursue a graduate degree, head coach Trent Johnson announced Monday.

“Coach Johnson has given me every opportunity to be successful here at LSU,” Green said in an Athletic Department news release. “I’m getting my bachelor’s degree, had a chance to play in the SEC and be a part of a great basketball program. I really appreciate everything Coach Johnson and LSU have done for me, but I look forward to my next opportunity.”

the Toronto Blue Jays doubled up on their helping of Nola, selecting Aaron in the 22nd round and Austin in the 31st, giving the siblings a chance to take their skills to the next level together.

“We never really talked about playing in the pros together. It was always LSU,” Aaron Nola chuckled. “It kind of shocked me when I heard he was drafted by the Blue Jays too. I was like, ‘Wow. That’s amazing.’”

The Nolas chose instead to don the purple and gold next season, putting LSU coach Paul Mainieri at ease.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association has requested information regarding scouting services the University used for the 20102011 recruiting year, according to an Athletic Department news release.

The University has complied with NCAA inquiries, according to the release. Several members of the LSU football coaching staff met with an NCAA official on the University campus to answer questions and supply materials given to the staff.

Complete Scouting Services, a scouting provider, and its director Will Lyles gave the University DVDs of game footage or highlights from 32 California and Kansas junior college prospective players from the 2010-2011 recruiting year.

Videos of one 2010-2011 Texas

high school prospect and one 20072008 Kansas junior college prospect were also included, though the University had not requested them from Complete Scouting Services, the release said.

The prospects were eligible to sign national letters of intent in February 2011.

The University also received 91 typewritten pages of roster-type information from junior colleges in those states, mostly related to prospects who had already enrolled in a four-year college by the time the University had received the materials, the release said. The University provided the pages to the NCAA. The University paid Complete Scouting Services $6,000 on Dec. 21 for these materials.

An early peek at the new-look football conferences

The end of summer is slowly beginning to nudge its way into sight.

But with the dreaded dawning of classes also comes the single greatest semester-long crutch known as college football.

There are still roughly six weeks left until the start of football season, but in my mind it’s never too early Mark Clements to start talking. Sports Contributor College athletics typically aren’t known for their off-season activity. Aside from summer recruiting and the occasional coaching carousel that takes place, the off-season is used for training, drills and camps.

This year was vastly different, as collegiate conferences began talking realignment.

Drastic changes were made to some major conferences, and even more transformations occurred in the smaller conferences. I’ll try to make this as simple as possible.

Colorado and Nebraska both left the Big 12, dropping the conference down to 10 teams.

Colorado left for the Pac-10, which will now be known as the Pac-12, also adding Utah from the Mountain West.

Nebraska left for the Big Ten, which ironically had 11 teams and now has 12. They also divided into two divisions – the “Leaders” and the “Legends.” Whatever that means.

Boise State left the Western Athletic Conference for the Mountain West in hopes of moving to a stronger conference.

The problem is the MWC lost its two powerhouses in TCU and Utah — who leaves in 2012 for the BIG EAST — and Utah while adding Fresno State and Nevada, who also moved over from the WAC with Boise. Basically the new MWC is the old WAC. So with all that in mind, it’s time to take a slightly early look at my take on the new-look conference power rankings.

NO. 1 — SEC It still isn’t close. The Southeastern Conference boasts the last five national champions, including six of the last eight title winners.

And the conference looks poised for another shot at it this year with both Alabama and LSU featured at the top of most preseason polls.

Top to bottom, the SEC is hard to beat. Eight to ten teams should find themselves bowl bound by season’s end.

NO. 2 — BIG TEN What used to be a one-horse race has become a little more interesting. The Big Ten has slightly closed the gap on the SEC the past few years, and the addition of Nebraska this season makes up a little more ground.

They lose some points this season with the chaos that has ensued with Ohio State’s off-the-field issues, but the recent successes of teams like Wisconsin, Iowa and Penn State make up for it.

Even the lower half of the conference isn’t too shabby. Northwestern, Illinois and Michigan all finished above .500 last year.

However, they nearly dropped below the Pac-12 simply because of the atrocity of their division names.

NO. 2.5 — PAC-12 The Pac-12 and Big Ten were eerily close in my book. Both made big additions to strengthen itself this off-season and both have a typical powerhouse school dealing with sanctions with the NCAA. If USC were on its normal high horse, you could make a stronger case for the newly formed Pac-12.

But national champion runnerup Oregon should contend for the title again this season, while Stanford — whose lone loss last year came at the hands of the Ducks — should give them a run for their money.

Similar to the Big Ten, the middle of the pack shows signs of life.

Utah plus the Oregon, Arizona and Washington teams could all make some noise before its over with.

The Heisman Trophy could

very well shift back to the Pac-12 this year with studs like LaMichael James of Oregon and Stanford’s Andrew Luck as the early frontrunners.

NO. 4 ­— ACC The Atlantic Coast Conference always struggles to get to that upper echelon every year. They typically field one or two strong teams who don’t seem to live up to expectations.

But this could be the year for the ACC. Yet again, Va. Tech is full of promise, but Florida State may be the team to watch out for. Promising quarterback EJ Manuel takes over a Seminole squad oozing with talent that failed to find consistency last season.

Miami and North Carolina seem to be headed in the right direction and Georgia Tech, Clemson and North Carolina State are consistantly

good, but never great.

NO. 5 — BIG-12 The conferences are coming in tiers. SEC at the top, Big Ten and Pac-12 in tier two, and the ACC and Big-12 fall into tier three.

They have their contenders, like Oklahoma in this case, but are full of those same good, not great teams like Texas A&M and Oklahoma State.

I’m still surprised at the downfall Texas faced last season. They should rebound but not to the juggernaut status they used to be. Throw in the rest of the Texas teams along with Missouri, and you have a very top-heavy, mediocre conference that could be falling apart in coming years.

She can tack on another $50,000 each time she achieves an NCAA Tournament appearance, a Sweet 16 appearance, a finish in the Final Four and being named SEC coach of the year — which isn’t uncommon for Caldwell, who was once the Pac-10 coach of the year.

Caldwell can earn a $100,000 bonus for winning a national championship and another $100,000 for winning national coach of the year.

The contract runs through June 2016 and also includes $170,000 to buy Caldwell out of her contract with her former employer, the University of California, Los Angeles.

Caldwell’s salary comes from self-generated funds within the Athletic Department.

Athletic Director Joe Alleva said she will make $10,000 less than former Women’s Basketball coach Van Chancellor.

Caldwell made approximately $300,000 a year with the UCLA Bruins, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Caldwell coached the Bruins for three years before being hired as head coach at LSU last spring.

During her time at UCLA she led the Bruins to a 72-26 record, made two NCAA Tournament appearances, and finished second in the Pac-10 Conference in 2010 and 2011. She was named Pac-10 coach of the year 2010.

Caldwell isn’t a stranger to national championships, winning two national championships at Tennessee, once a player and again as an assistant coach.

PRESS X TO NOT DIE

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Netflix price increase a slap in the face to consumers It’s no question Netflix has revolutionized the way people watch movies and television shows.

Without Netflix, we wouldn’t have Hulu or the cable companies trying to improve their OnDemand and streaming services to compete.

Without Netflix, Blockbuster would most likely still exist.

For years, I’ve praised the bymail company, both in print and on the radio, as well as convinced many friends and my family to sign up for the service.

DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming for ten bucks a month — it was practically a steal, and Netflix was raking in the dough.

However, all of this money and power has finally caught up to the red giant’s head, and consumers are going to be paying for it — literally.

With such a power hold on the industry, Netflix will be able to do whatever they want to their customers and easily get away with it.

I call it the Apple syndrome.

Last week, Netflix announced

it would be splitting its current unlimited DVD/streaming plan up into two separate categories to “ensure a long life for our DVDs by mail offering,” according to the company’s blog.

Instead of offering unlimited DVDs by Adam Arinder mail and unlimColumnist ited streaming starting at $9.99, the two will be broken up into separate plans for $7.99 each.

That means if you want to keep your current service of DVDs/streaming, you now get to fork over 16 bucks a month.

That’s a 60 percent increase per month.

Netflix’s Jessie Becker explains in the blog post that when the company launched its unlimited streaming only service for $7.99 last November, there was still a high demand for DVDs (which is how the company started).

Becker says treating DVDs as $2 add ons to unlimited streaming “neither makes great financial sense nor satisfies people who just want DVDs.” Therefore, to “treat” customers who solely want DVDs, Netflix is offering DVD’s at its lowest price ever — they’re sure to mention that point many times in the announcement.

The price change is effective immediately for new subscribers and on Sept. 1 for existing customers.

What this is really showing is where the money is coming from.

Obviously Netflix is making a killing on their streaming service and wants to continue raking in the easy revenue.

By effectively raising the prices of DVDs, the company is banking on people — like myself — cancelling their DVD subscriptions and solely relying on streaming.

The company can then cut costs by dealing with fewer customers to package and ship DVDs to, as well as less of a hassle of lost

or damaged discs.

The catch is Netflix has been losing rights to stream certain shows on its service.

In April, I wrote about Showtime pulling its content — including “Dexter” and “Weeds” — from Netflix with many other studios considering following suit.

Offering less content for more money doesn’t make sense.

The flip side would be with all the costs Netflix will be saving by losing expensive DVD customers, the company could use the added revenue to go after bigger studios to further expand its streaming library.

But I don’t see that happening.

Companies are about making money, and if they have to lose or upset a few people to see a better bottom line, it’ll happen.

I plan on dropping down to only unlimited streaming since the same movie has been sitting on my coffee table for months — I guess in the long run this change will save me money.

This isn’t how to treat your

customers, Netflix.

People may understand a slight price increase over time.

Hell, we just saw one at the end of last year.

But to send prices soaring less than a year after the last price hike?

That’s a huge gamble, my friends.

Time will tell how this change will affect the company’s future.

While outrage on Twitter or on the company’s blog may seem like an indication for the end, the service is too great for many people to cancel completely.

Netflix knows this, and it will milk every penny it can for as long as it can.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Opinion

page 9

Students graduate with underwhelming financial knowledge Many students ace math, English and science without problems.

But these same students fail to pay their bills on time after graduation.

It’s a pandemic. The American education system has been decried for decades now — our students don’t learn enough foreign language, math scores are too low compared to our developed counterparts, etc. The complaints are as cliche as they are true. But the most under-represented parts of our education system seem to be in finance, nutrition and critical thought.

Critical thought, in the form of classical studies in Greek and Latin and a thorough analysis of those texts, was once a pillar of education. Now, it is all but absent in nearly all high schools — save high-quality private ones — and derided in colleges as a waste of time or a lofty, philosophical endeavor.

Because I’ve no background in nutrition, I will not address it at length, but it will suffice to say that the literally massive state of American weight stands — or rath-

er, hobbles — as a testament to the lack of self-control and nutritional information with which students enter the world.

Financially, the problem seems primarily two-fold.

First, stuDevin Graham dents are uninColumnist terested — both in finance as well as the contracts we regularly agree to. The “South Park” episode, “HUMANCENTiPAD,” shows this well. Kyle falls into a myriad of problems because he clicked “agree,” apparently twice, without reading the iTunes Terms and Conditions agreement.

While the show is ridiculous, it illustrates a true and enduring point — no one reads the agreements.

On April 1, 2010, Gamestation changed their Terms and Conditions to include, “By placing an order via this website on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to

grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul.”

In other words, the United Kingdom group had its customers agree to give their soul to the company. If they read the agreement, a button was available to opt-out of the sub-clause, and observant readers who did so were given a £5 GBP gift voucher.

By the way, Gamestation found that 88 percent accepted the soul-binding agreement.

Other companies have had similar results with quirky clause changes, and I must admit, 12 percent of people reading the agreement for a game purchase is shocking to me — though the experiment took place in the United Kingdom and may not fairly represent the situation in America.

For something as mundane as a small game purchase or textbooks from Amazon, you’ll probably be okay to just sign the agreement. I can’t recommend it, but I live in the real world too, and really, who has time to read 57 pages of legal information about Blu-ray disks?

But consumers don’t seem to be able to tell when it counts, and even when the purchase is major — say for a car or house — few read the contract.

I’ve personally spoken with a man who had inadvertently signed away the rights to his house and land because he had no idea what he was signing. While unfortunate, there is little in the way of legal help for him now.

The second part of the problem is actual education. The only financial knowledge I’d received in my high school, which was an excellent school, was one class called, “free enterprise.” I still have no clue what we talked about in the class, which was taught by a football coach who, by his own admission, would prefer to teach psychology — and did so regularly.

So, it’s unsurprising The Daily Reveille reported in February 2010 that ECON 2000 was the University’s most failed class — some 34.4 percent of students who enrolled in the class made a D, F or dropped the class.

It’s not that the subject is too

difficult. There’s nothing inherently more difficult about economics than say, calculus or biology, but students are woefully underprepared in high school for financial studies, and it shows in their college grades and financial decisions.

Even after college, batches of economic data and polls show Americans just don’t have any idea what a politician means when he says GDP is up or “jobs” are down.

You’re at a good college. Study money seriously while you’re here so you don’t make the same spending decisions as your parents, and maybe we won’t put our kids into a massive recession like they did.

SCUM OF THE GIRTH

Despite the trial, be thankful your mother isn’t Casey Anthony Casey Anthony was a mother from Florida who was accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, and was found not guilty by a Florida court. She was released from prison last Sunday.

Let’s take a second to look at the facts of the case courtesy of ABC News.

Caylee Anthony was last seen alive on Parker Cramer June 16, 2008.

Columnist Caylee was not reported missing until July 15, 2008 by Cindy Anthony, Caylee’s grandmother. Cindy Anthony told the 911 dispatcher, “I found my daughter’s car today and it smelled like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.” The next day Casey Anthony was arrested. She claimed to have left Caylee at a babysitter’s apartment, which was later found to have been vacant for the past 140 days. During the time Caylee was missing, Casey partied with friends, went to night clubs and entered a swimsuit contest.

On July 22, 2008, detectives assigned to the case claimed that “cadaver dogs had smelled human decomposition in the trunk” of Casey Anthony’s car. On Sept.

25, 2008, the woman who was allegedly babysitting Caylee at the time of her disappearance filed a defamation lawsuit against Casey Anthony. On Oct. 14, 2008, Casey Anthony was charged with the first degree murder of her daughter Caylee. On Dec. 11, 2008, the skeletal remains of a child were

found half a mile from Anthony’s home, which were later confirmed through DNA testing to be the body of Caylee Anthony.

On June 19, 2009, the autopsy report for Caylee Anthony was released but did not determine a cause of death. However, it did determine that her mouth and nose had been covered with tape. Sunday, July 17, 2011, Casey Anthony was released from prison after being found not guilty of her daughter’s murder.

The results of this trial have shocked America, prompting some states to draft what is being called “Caylee’s Law,” which makes

failing to report a missing child after 24 hours a felony.

Casey Anthony will undoubtedly profit from the death of her daughter. Before Caylee’s death, Casey Anthony was a nobody. She was a mother — she liked to party, but she was not special. After Caylee’s death and Casey’s subsequent acquittal, Casey Anthony has become a household name, like Charles Manson.

She will undoubtedly have to enter some sort of witness protection program, change her name and appearance. Eventually, she’ll make new friends and start a new life, possibly consisting of partying

and sleeping with trashy guys.

But soon enough, she’ll write a book and start to appear on TV shows to talk about her life, the trial and her identity for the past ten years. I can see it now, “My Life, My Story, My Innocence: A Memoir from the Shadows” by Casey Anthony, maybe by the same ghost writer who helped Snooki put words coherently in a sentence and produce a New York Times Bestseller.

She’s famous now. She could eventually make money from the death of her daughter, through books, a movie or a Lifetime miniseries. Regardless of whether she

got away with murder, her daughter was missing for a month before she was reported missing by Casey’s mother. Casey didn’t even care enough to call the police.

Bottom line, go hug your mother, buy her some flowers and be thankful she’s not Casey Anthony.
