Yes, it is wrong for Alabama to profit solely from the sale of a t-shirt with Tua's face on it (and without his consent). Do you believe the same regarding Alabama not sharing its cut of SEC broadcast fees generated from the airing of games in which Tua plays?

How is that defined (sincere question)?

Does this include jerseys with the player number? What share of revenue from video games? Banners and posters? What if a photo is appears on a ticket?

I just don't see how you find a dividing line between what is and isn't revenue associated with a player's likeness.
I think the number is a close question

The star players should probably share in that. But when a video game is designed for the guy's face and pigmentation to look exactly like somebody, it is not a close call.
