Ten players from North Carolina State's 1983 national champion basketball team have filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and the Collegiate Licensing Company. The players, known as the 'Cardiac Pack', claim that the NCAA has systematically and intentionally misappropriated their publicity rights without their consent and without providing any compensation. The lawsuit seeks compensation for the unauthorized use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL) earnings. The 'Cardiac Pack' is a well-known team in March Madness history, and their legal action highlights ongoing issues surrounding NIL rights in college sports.
