Ohio State, Big Ten among those named in lawsuit by Terrelle Pryor

Terrelle Pryor is suing Ohio State, among others, in a new lawsuit that he filed against numerous parties. Pryor’s allegations, per Sam Ehrlich, a sports law professor at Boise State, are based on “antitrust and unjust enrichment.”

Pryor’s suit suggests that the conference, program and association as a whole continue to make money without any compensation to those involved.

This certainly isn’t the first and won’t be the last of this type of lawsuit, especially with NIL initiatives continuing to grow in the public eye. Here’s the breakdown of the lawsuit from Ehrlich.

Pryor never truly got an NFL career going despite his immense success with the Buckeyes.

He ended his junior season with the most passing touchdowns (27) in the NCAA. The former star also had 2,772 passing yards that season and was among the most lethal dual-threat quarterbacks.

There will continue to be major precedents set by these cases as players weren’t compensated for the enrichment of others during their time at college.
