Bush is planning a press conference on Wednesday at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to discuss his suit.
“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,” the law firm McCathern, PLLC said in a statement Tuesday night.
“Within less than a day, this false statement was republished by no less than 20 different media organizations and circulated to readers around the world.”Bush has made a lengthy push to have his 2005 Heisman Trophy reinstated after it was found, following a lengthy investigation, that the running back and his family accepted cash, travel expenses and a home in San Diego where his parents lived without having to pay rent.
“Although college athletes can now receive benefits from their names, images and likenesses through activities like endorsements and appearances, NCAA rules still do not permit pay-for-play type arrangements,” the NCAA said in a statement on June 28, 2021.
