  • Note Deconstructing the Façade of Amateurism: Antitrust And
    Note Deconstructing the Façade of Amateurism: Antitrust and Intellectual Property Arguments in Favor of Compensating Athletes Kathryn Young* Anyone who has visited Chapel Hill, North Carolina in recent years could easily come to the conclusion that two numbers are crucial to the school: 23 and 50. The number 23 is an easy connection for sports fans of all ages. Michael Jordan, a University of North Carolina graduate, immortalized the number during his stellar professional career. Arguably the best professional basketball player of all time, Jordan is known by many monikers: Mike, MJ, but also simply his jersey number, 23. The number 50 requires a more recent Carolina sports knowledge. To these fans, the number does not need a name, it represents the hard working and well-loved Tyler Hansbrough. While Jordan is the top professional player, Hansbrough makes a strong case for best recent college basketball player, especially at UNC. Even three years after he graduated (and has yet to make a name nationally as an Indiana Pacer), his jersey can be seen all over campus on any given day. This kind of devotion to a mere number is not exclusive to North Carolina. The number 15 in Gainesville, Florida signals the Gators’ much- debated former quarterback, Tim Tebow. No. 15 jerseys are a top seller, bringing in $77,000 in sales in 2008.1 Tebow’s fans frequently incorporated the number in signs, like ones opining that he should win the “HE15MAN.” On the University of Oklahoma athletics website, a No. 14 jersey is prominently featured for sale; on the University of Texas athletics site, it is a No.
