Judge dismisses NC State’s ‘Cardiac Pack’ lawsuit for name, image, likeness compensation

A North Carolina judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the 1983 N.C. State men's basketball team, known as the 'Cardiac Pack', seeking name, image, and likeness compensation for the NCAA's use of footage from their championship season.
The lawsuit claimed the NCAA had 'systematically and intentionally misappropriated' the team's publicity rights associated with their buzzer-beating victory over Houston, reaping 'scores of millions of dollars'.
The judge ruled the claims were 'untimely, barred by their failure to allege a violation of a legally enforceable right, and preempted by the federal Copyright Act'.
