Episode Description

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss a judge dismissing a lawsuit by NC State’s 1983 Championship team over NCAA NIL profits and what happened in the year 1998.

It is Throwback Thursday! Why are we throwing back to 1998? What happened in 1998 in sports? Who were the top 5 draft picks of 1998 in the  NFL and NBA?

Members of NC State’s legendary 1983 “Cardiac Pack” men’s basketball team—the squad that won the national championship in dramatic fashion—filed a lawsuit against the NCAA. They claimed the NCAA continues to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) by featuring their tournament highlights in re-airings, online promotions, and advertisements, without compensating the players. However, a North Carolina judge dismissed their case, citing prior legal precedents and ruling against their claim. Fair or Foul?
