Terrelle Pryor Files Lawsuit Against NCAA, Ohio State, and Big Ten Over NIL Rights

The former Ohio State quarterback seeks compensation for denied NIL opportunities during his college career, alleging antitrust violations.

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.
