COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri men’s basketball center Josh Gray and three former St. Louis University men’s basketball players are suing the NCAA and its power conferences, echoing familiar antitrust allegations as they seek monetary damages in a new federal lawsuit.
Gray and the former Billikens — Hasahn French, Lamont Evans IV and Jimmy Bell Jr. — are part of a group of 67 athletes arguing they have been harmed by their previous inability to receive compensation for their name, imagine and likeness. They’re now suing to be awarded an unspecified amount in damages.
Their lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court in California, accuses the NCAA of price fixing through its policies.
