A lot of people on this list use NC$$ instead of NCAA because of the NCAA's reputation of being more concerned with money than almost anything else. Trademark has nothing to do with it. The owner of a trademark does not have power to restrict references to the trademark, unless, of course, an entity wants to name itself or a product the same as another company or product. (This is really general. There are exceptions, like Delta Airlines does not manufacture Delta faucets; the two are not in the same industry.) _____________________________________________________________________ Ryan Robbins "Nothing in fine print is ever good news."
