Reggie Bush will file a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA over its insistence that he took part in a “pay-for-play” scheme while at USC.
Former USC and NFL star Reggie Bush plans to file a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA for saying he took part in a “pay-to-play type arrangement” when he played for the Los Angeles school in the early 2000s.“The lawsuit is based on the NCAA maliciously attacking his character through a completely false and highly offensive statement that was widely reported in the media and substantially and irreparably damaged his reputation,” Levi G. McCathern and Ty M.

The rules that govern fair play are voted on, agreed to and expected to be upheld by all NCAA member schools.”“Specifically, on July 28, 2021, the NCAA … falsely issued a statement to reporters that because of Mr. Bush’s prior involvement in a ‘pay-for-play arrangement’ the NCAA would not consider restoring his collegiate records that it vacated in 2010, which subsequently resulted in Mr.
Bush’s lawsuit hinges on the definition of “pay for play,” which commonly means an agreement for an athlete to play for a school in exchange for financial rewards and not a financial agreement between an athlete and a third party who does not represent the school and is seeking a share of the athlete’s future professional earnings.
