The DVD cover, depicting Michael Irvin, originally had the "U" logo on his helmet, but it was airbrushed from the cover after the University of Miami objected to the logo's appearance. Excerpts from Florida State University's infamous "Seminole Rap" video that initially appeared in the documentary were also cut from the DVD release. LESS
