Overview

• Terrelle Pryor has filed a class-action lawsuit in Ohio federal court against the NCAA, Ohio State, the Big Ten, and Learfield.
• Pryor alleges that these organizations profited from his name, image, and likeness (NIL) without compensation during his college career from 2008-2010.
• The lawsuit claims that the defendants have systematically misappropriated publicity rights, resulting in significant financial gain at the expense of student-athletes.
• Pryor's legal action follows similar lawsuits by Reggie Bush and former Michigan players, challenging the NCAA's past NIL restrictions.
• The case seeks to include all former Ohio State athletes who competed before the NCAA's 2021 NIL policy change, aiming for class-action status.
