The NCAA will be facing yet another case on their hands today. Up until recently, they’ve been caught up with the $4 billion lawsuit for the NIL case. Prior to this, the Jimbo Fisher buyout has also been pricking the sides of the NCAA. But it seems as if their troubles in the courtroom will keep on getting deeper.

Brothers Matthew Bewley and Ryan Bewley sued the NCAA after being denied eligibility for receiving money generated from their name and likeness. Their lawsuit claims that the NCAA’s actions don’t fall in line with the organization’s NIL policy. But while the company battles the Bewley lawsuit, Rob Beasley comes forward with another case for the NCAA.

It was recently announced that Rob Beasley, a basketball player at the University of San Francisco, is suing the NCAA for denying his transfer waiver. The complaint is available to see on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The lawsuit comes a few days later after Jimbo Fisher was released with a massive buyout of $76 million. The NCAA, along with the Texas Aggies, will have to pay Fisher this huge amount of money as he’s being fired prior to the end of his contract. It’s obvious that the NCAA is having a hard time with all these lawsuits lurking around. But during this storm, Caleb Williams came to the league’s aid to try to shift the tide in their favor.

What did Caleb Williams say that might help the NCAA with their lawsuit?

Amid the speculations for the Bewley lawsuit, this is what Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the USC Trojans, had to say. He said, “It’s like if you go to school and you are a straight-A student and there’s another kid whose strong suit isn’t school and he gets B’s or B-minuses,” Williams told Yahoo Sports in August. “How fair would it be if you got the same grade as him? That never works in school and it doesn’t make sense. That’s how I look at that game with the situation with the $500.”

Though it makes sense as to why an NIL-based lawsuit is an issue in and of itself, the Bewleys have a strong case in their favor as well. They’re trying to fight for the right to be compensated for the usage of their images in the coverage of the sport, and the fans as well as the athletes desperately hope they win their legal battle.
