So who exactly is the 12th man? Their lawyer?

The 12th Man is a trademark that Texas A&M owns. They have to defend it, otherwise they lose the ability to fend off people who will throw the 12th man on everything and sell knockoff Texas A&M items, thereby hurting the Texas A&M brand and merchandising income. They likely will come to an agreement with Denver much like they did Seattle a few years back.

It isn't a money grab by A&M by any means, but if you do not protect your copyrights, then you lose them.

Exactly, which is why I didn't have a problem with it.

They own the shit, they should be paid for it. ATM is a joke, but not for anything related to that story.

Trivial shit like this is important when you have only won 1 title (in the 30s) and you haven't had a top 5 finish in about 60 years.

Its not like we do not ensure we protect/get paid for our brand. We ensured we got our money from all their saw'em off crap.
