Reggie Bush Sues NCAA, USC and Pac-12

Reggie Bush, the former USC running back and Heisman Trophy winner, has filed a lawsuit against USC, the Pac-12, and the NCAA, alleging they profited from the unauthorized use of his name, image, and likeness (NIL) during and after his college career. Bush claims he deserves compensation for the millions made from his contributions, which he argues were exploited without any acknowledgment or remuneration to him. This lawsuit follows a separate defamation case Bush filed against the NCAA last year over comments made regarding the pay-for-play scandal that led to him losing his Heisman, which was recently restored. His attorneys emphasize that this case aims to set a precedent for the fair treatment of all college athletes. The lawsuit comes amid a wave of similar legal actions from former athletes seeking compensation for NIL misappropriations. Bush's legal battle highlights ongoing issues in college athletics regarding athlete rights and compensation.
