@Zack – I realize there are hurdles. I just wish they’d let me be in charge I can work that stuff out.

@Bobster – Who said anything about wanting children?

@C – Okay, now I’m intrigued about this children option.

Bobster – you are not helping, here. Mount Vernon’s and el Kaiser’s offspring would be Kong.

Why not just print out the picture you want and glue it to the box? Then you and Mount Vernon can relax and have all the children you want.

Remember that NCAA Football does not have license to use real player names (Fire up Florida and watch as the Heisman winning “QB #15″ takes the field), so having the ability to place any athlete on the cover would require individual contracts (and licensing) for every single player.

Now, for the mascots, this is a different story because the Mascot likenesses are already licensed (if applicable) and in the game, so they can use them on the cover for no additional fee. It’s likely that Sam’s Club is paying any additional licensing costs regarding the use of particular likenesses and that’s why this is not a nationwide program.

Only me speculating however.
