UT trademark police call foul over possible infringement

As part of the "wear red" frenzy for Saturday's Texas-Nebraska game in Lincoln, one company was selling T-shirts and hoodies to Cornhuskers fans with an ".01" on the back and an inverted longhorn's head on the front.

The Red Out Shirts creation marketed by J&S Distributing was either a big hit with fans or took a big hit from the University of Texas. On Tuesday, a website selling the merchandise no longer displayed any pictures, only a terse message that the merchandise was sold out.

"That may be their way of responding without responding," said Craig Westemeier, director of UT's trademark licensing. Texas, through the legal department of its licensing partner, the Collegiate Licensing Company, recently informed J&S Distributing that the logo might infringe on a Longhorns trademark.

3. You know Texas is a quite liberal school right?

BTW, they've sued numerous people who infringed on their trademark in the past. You have to or you lose your protection.

Nebraska athletic teams earned strong scores in the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) Report released on Tuesday by the NCAA. Six Husker teams earned perfect 100 percent GSR scores, and the Nebraska football team’s GSR score ranked near the top of the Big 12 Conference.

The Graduation Success Rate is an NCAA measurement that, unlike the federally mandated graduation rates, includes transfer data in the calculation. This marks the third year the NCAA has released GSR rates.
