COLUMBUS, Ohio — Terrelle Pryor’s lawsuit against Ohio State, the NCAA and the Big Ten over denied name, image and likeness compensation was dismissed Friday.
A judge ruled OSU was covered by “sovereign immunity.” Pryor’s claims were deemed to be outside the four-year statute of limitations for an antitrust lawsuit.
Pryor, a former quarterback for the Buckeyes (2008-10), was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2008.
Much of his case centered around the money he would have made as one of the biggest names in college football during his time in Columbus.
Before July 2021, collegiate athletes could not profit off their name, image and likeness.
Pryor is a native of Jeannette, Pennsylvania.
In three season with Ohio State, he threw for 6,177 yards and 57 touchdowns while rushing for another 2,164 yards and 17 scores.
Pryor left Ohio State ahead of his senior season. He was taken by the Raiders in the third round of the supplemental draft in 2011.
