Former Utah Jazz player Thurl Bailey and nine teammates from the 1983 NC State men’s basketball championship team filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and Collegiate Licensing Company in North Carolina, alleging the unlawful use of their NIL and publicity rights from their iconic tournament win. They compare themselves to the original Cinderella team and claim ongoing harm, referencing Ed O’Bannon’s precedent-setting lawsuit over player compensation. The players demand a jury trial, an injunction against unauthorized footage use, and monetary damages over $25,000. The NCAA will likely argue the case is time-barred and cite First Amendment protection for using game footage.
