INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Supreme Court says FanDuel and DraftKings can use the names and statistics of college football players without consent and compensation.

The court said in a unanimous ruling Wednesday that the material has news value.

The court  rejected the claims of former players Akeem Daniels and Cameron Stingily of Northern Illinois and Nick Stoner of Indiana.

The players argued that the fantasy sports providers violated their right of publicity by using their names and statistics without consent and compensation.
