Former USC running back Reggie Bush will announce plans Wednesday to file a defamation suit against the NCAA for alleging he received improper benefits.
"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," Bush's attorneys Levi G. McCathern and Ty M. Sheaks said in a statement.
The phrase"pay-for-play" typically refers to athletes who would not play for a school unless they were compensated, suggesting the benefits were a factor in the recruiting process, according to the Los Angeles Times. It differs from an agent providing gifts or payment in exchange for a potential share of future professional earnings.
