NCAA Leaps to Block Mario Chalmers NIL Lawsuit

Oct 22, 2024

The NCAA, conferences and Turner Sports contend an antitrust lawsuit brought by Mario Chalmers and 15 other former college basketball players over the use of their NIL in broadcasts is barred by the passage of time and the limitations of law. Chalmers, who starred for the Kansas Jayhawks before playing nine years in the NBA, is leading a group of athletes who played for the 1997, 2008, 2011 and 2014 NCAA championship teams. The defendants raise several counterarguments, starting with the assertion that the claims are time-barred. Antitrust claims normally have a four-year statute of limitations.
