Sports Digest: Reggie Bush seeks to collect NIL money from career

COLLEGES

Reggie Bush, the former Southern California football star, filed a lawsuit against his school, the NCAA and the Pac-12 in a bid to recoup money made on his name, image and likeness during his career with the Trojans two decades ago.

In a brief news release from Bush’s lawyers announcing the filing Monday, the Heisman Trophy-winning tailback’s representatives claim he should be paid “to address and rectify ongoing injustices stemming from the exploitation of Reggie Bush’s name, image, and likeness during his tenure as a USC football player.”

Bush was one of the most exciting players in recent college football history during his three years at USC from 2003-05, winning two national titles and the Heisman. He went on to an 11-year NFL career.

LSU’s top linebacker, Harold Perkins Jr., has an anterior cruciate ligament tear that will end what was expected to be his final season with the Tigers before entering the NFL draft, Coach Brian Kelly said.

• Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers practiced but remains questionable to play with an abdomen strain when the top-ranked Longhorns face Mississippi State in their Southeastern Conference opener.

PAC-12: The Pac-12 is in discussions with basketball powerhouse Gonzaga to join the rebuilding conference in 2026.

The Pac-12 is also targeting Mountain West schools UNLV and Utah State as it pivots from a group of American Athletic Conference schools that decided to remain committed to their current league.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Nebraska Coach Fred Hoiberg is scheduled to undergo a medical procedure Friday to have his pacemaker replaced, the athletic department announced.

FOOTBALL

NFL: Minnesota quarterback Sam Darnold has a bruised left knee from a late and low hit that sidelined him for one play, a relief to the undefeated Vikings after an MRI exam revealed no structure damage.

• Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett didn’t sustain any further injuries to his feet while continuing to play in Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants and is still listed as “day to day.”

SOCCER

BRADLEY OUT: Bob Bradley, the former United States men’s coach, resigned after a year working for the Norwegian club Stabaek.

Bradley, who also coached Stabaek in 2014 and 2015, was rehired a year ago to save the club from relegation from the country’s top division, but couldn’t. The team had a great start in the second tier this year but slowly dropped in the standings and looks unlikely to rebound immediately. Stabaek is seventh in the standings, 10 points out of a promotion place with seven games to go.

U.S. MEN: The United States will play its home leg of a CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal in St. Louis on Nov. 18, its first competitive match under Coach Mauricio Pochettino.

BASKETBALL

WNBA: Kelly Krauskopf will return to the Indiana Fever as president of both basketball and business operations after the season, the team announced.
She led the franchise from 2000-18 before leaving to become the Pacers’ assistant general manager. The Fever won the WNBA championship in 2012 and reached the finals in 2009 and 2015 under her leadership.

TENNIS

DAVIS CUP: Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz were named to Spain’s roster for the finals, raising the possibility of a renewal of their Olympics doubles partnership.
Spain will take on the Netherlands in the quarterfinal, an eight-team event Nov. 19-24 in Malaga, Spain. The other opening matchups are defending champion Italy vs. Argentina; the United States vs. Australia; and Germany vs. Canada.
