Baker-Mazara Sues USC Over NIL and Racial Allegations | College Basketball News

Former USC basketball star Chad Baker-Mazara is suing the university and head coach Eric Musselman, alleging he was cut from the team to avoid paying his NIL contract — and that Musselman made a racially charged remark telling him to “Go back to the Dominican Republic” after his injury. The lawsuit claims USC terminated his NIL deals the day after his dismissal, citing a morals clause, while delaying payments just before his removal. USC denies the claims, saying the decision had nothing to do with race and they’ll fight the suit. Baker-Mazara, USC’s top scorer last season, is seeking damages for breach of contract and discrimination. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
