Denard Robinson and Braylon Edwards are among the former Michigan athletes who filed a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA and Big Ten Network, alleging they deserved to be compensated for the use of their name, image and likeness.

"The lawsuit says the NCAA and Big Ten Network 'have systematically exploited these iconic moments' that the players created during their careers at Michigan," ESPN's Jake Trotter wrote. "The lawsuit is on behalf of those who played for Michigan prior to 2016."

The plaintiffs are looking to receive more than $50 million.
