Former UNC lineman Bryan Bishop files law suit against EA Sports

Posted Sep 11, 2009
Another former college football player has filed a suit against videogame giant Electronic Arts for allegedly ripping off his likeness and the NCAA for making it all too easy to do so. Byron Bishop was a sometime starter at UNC who finished his college career last year. Bishop's class-action suit filed earlier this month in San Francisco federal court, claims that Redwood Shores-based EA has made billions off the free labor of college athletes like him.
