Lawsuit vs. NCAA, conferences alleging NIL suppression - fullmetal - 06-10-2026

Quote:A new class-action lawsuit has been filed against the NCAA, power conferences and College Sports Commission alleging a “conspiracy” to suppress NIL earnings, according to court documents obtained by On3’s Pete Nakos. USC linebacker Talanoa Ili and Stanford quarterback Charlie Mirer brought the suit forward.

As much as the lid has been blown off of the NIL landscape, there are more restrictions they'd like to remove.

These guys are in for a rude awakening if they become professionals in anything, including professional sports. It's a class action suit and Charlie "played 3 downs in his college career" Mirer bringing it forward is certainly.....interesting.

College football is still entertaining, say the way Cocaine Bear was entertaining, but its intrinsic value is close to zero these days.

on the other plaintiff...

Quote:Ili, who enrolled at USC in the spring of 2026 after graduating a semester early from high school, looks to compete for playing time at linebacker as a true freshman in 2026.

I suspect some agents and lawyers expect to earn a lot of the NIL money. I expect the young players were easy to convince to pursue this
