NC State's 1983 Championship Team Sues NCAA Over NIL Rights

Players allege unauthorized use of names, images, and likenesses for over 40 years.

Ten players from NC State's 1983 championship basketball team are suing the NCAA for unauthorized use of their names, images, and likenesses.
The lawsuit, filed in Wake County Superior Court, demands compensation for the NCAA's commercial use of archival footage and promotional materials.
The plaintiffs argue that the NCAA has profited from their iconic victory for over 40 years without providing any compensation.
This legal action follows the 2021 Supreme Court decision allowing college athletes to profit from their NIL rights.
The NCAA has not yet responded to the lawsuit, which also seeks a jury trial.
