Terrelle Pryor-led lawsuit vs. NCAA dismissed over timeliness

A federal judge in Ohio has dismissed a lawsuit seeking compensation for thousands of former Ohio State athletes from the NCAA.

In her ruling, Chief U.S. District Judge Sarah Morrison said former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor filed his proposed class action against the NCAA, Ohio State, the Big Ten and others too late.

Pryor, who played for Ohio State from 2008 to 2010, sued the NCAA and other defendants in October, accusing them of violating antitrust law by barring members of the school's sports teams from seeking to profit from the commercial use of their names, images and likenesses.
