Terrelle Pryor Files Lawsuit Against NCAA, Ohio State, Big Ten and Learfield for Usage of Name, Image and Likeness​

Terrelle Pryor has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, Ohio State, Big Ten and Learfield over the usage of his and other former OSU athletes’ names, images and likenesses.

The former Ohio State quarterback filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on Friday, seeking damages from the NCAA, Ohio State, Big Ten and Learfield for the past and continued use of former Ohio State athletes’ NIL without permission or compensation.



Pryor’s lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by prohibiting him and other Ohio State athletes from being compensated for their NIL rights during their college careers. Pryor has filed the lawsuit on behalf of “all former student-athletes who competed on an Ohio State athletic team at any time prior to the changes to the name, image, and likeness rules of the NCAA” and has requested the lawsuit be certified as a class action.

Pryor is requesting a “temporary and permanent injunction” that would prevent the defendants from continuing to use the names, images and likenesses of former Ohio State athletes without permission and compensation. He also seeks for former Ohio State athletes to receive damages for the past usage of their NIL, including a “share of game telecast group licensing revenue” that those athletes “would have received absent the Defendants’ unlawful conduct” and the social media earnings that those athletes would have received had they not been prohibited from profiting from their NIL.

An Ohio State spokesperson said Ohio State would not comment on pending litigation.

Just sayin': He played at Ohio State during the 2008 thru 2010 seasons. I'd think that there would be a statute of limitations issue here too.
