A group of former Louisville Cardinals men's basketball players filed their lawsuit against the NCAA on Wednesday, accusing the organization of portraying members of the 2013 team in a false light.

The suit, which you can read below in full, seeks to restore the team's 2013 championship, which was vacated by the NCAA along with more than 100 wins as a result of the school's escort scandal. They are being represented by a group of lawyers headed by John Morgan, of nationwide personal injury law firm Morgan & Morgan.

The five plaintiffs — former players Luke Hancock, Gorgui Dieng, Stephan Van Treese, Tim Henderson and Michael Marra — also "seek a declaration that they are completely innocent of any wrongdoing as implied by the NCAA," according to the lawsuit, which was filed in Jefferson Circuit Court.
