Ed Oliver, Univ. of Houston To Share In Bobblehead Profits

Univ. of Houston

The Univ. of Houston will sell 108 "special edition Ed Oliver bobbleheads" prior to the football program's Friday Night Lights event at TDECU Stadium, and the NFL Draft prospect "will directly benefit." Since Oliver declared for the Draft, he is "able to profit from his likeness, so proceeds on the bobbleheads -- which will cost $100 each -- will go directly to the former Outland Trophy winner." Oliver will donate 50% of the proceeds to Houston athletics and its Cougar Pride fundraising arm. The bobbleheads "originally were created and sent to Heisman Trophy voters and select media" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 4/12).
