Unrivaled Announces NIL Deals with 14 College Players, Including JuJu Watkins and Flau'Jae Johnson
COLUMBUS, OHIO, JUL 18 – Judge ruled Pryor’s claims fall outside the four-year statute of limitations and Ohio State is protected by sovereign immunity, excluding him from the $2.8 billion NCAA settlement fund.
- On July 18, 2025, a federal judge in Columbus dismissed a legal case brought by Terrelle Pryor, who played quarterback for Ohio State, against the university, the NCAA, the Big Ten, and additional parties regarding compensation for the use of his name, image, and likeness.
- Pryor filed the lawsuit claiming antitrust violations and unjust enrichment after being denied compensation for NIL rights that were not allowed before 2021 NCAA rule changes.
- The court determined that Pryor’s lawsuit was filed after the allowable four-year period had expired and found that Ohio State University is shielded from such legal claims due to sovereign immunity.
- Between 2008 and 2010, Pryor completed three seasons at Ohio State, accumulating 6,177 passing yards with 57 touchdown passes, in addition to rushing for 2,164 yards and scoring 17 rushing touchdowns throughout his college career.
- The dismissal means Pryor is ineligible for the $2.8 billion NCAA settlement covering athletes from 2016-2024, and he has not yet announced plans to appeal the decision.
