Legendary USC running back Reggie Bush plans to announce a defamation lawsuit Tuesday against the NCAA for alleging he received improper benefits.
Bush's attorneys issued a statement about the lawsuit, claiming the NCAA falsely issued a statement in July 2021 that damaged his reputation.
Pay-for-play refers to a collegiate athlete who would not play for a school unless compensated and suggests benefits, like gifts and cash, were factors in recruitment. There are differences between that and the scenario alleged in the Bush case. Since that time, the NCAA instituted a new name, image, and likeness compensation rule that went into effect in 2021. Following the lead of states like California, the NCAA has approved compensation for a player's NIL.
