== Controversies ==
'''NCAA Lawsuit Over Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL)'''

In July 2024, Terry and three other former University of Arizona basketball players initiated legal action against the NCAA.

The plaintiffs sought compensation for the unauthorized use of their identities.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Amacher |first=Ezra |date=2024-07-03 |title=Jason Terry among former Arizona players suing NCAA over NIL use in March Madness highlights |url=https://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketball/2024/7/3/24191847/jason-terry-former-arizona-wildcats-suing-ncaa-over-nil-use-in-march-madness-highlights? |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=Arizona Desert Swarm |language=en}}</ref>

'''1999 NCAA Tournament Violation'''

While attending the [[University of Arizona]], Terry was implicated in a controversy related to [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] rules violations. In 1999, reports indicated that he had received approximately $11,500 in unauthorized benefits from agents. Consequently, the university forfeited its sole game in the 1999 NCAA Tournament and returned 45% of its tournament revenue share.<ref>{{Cite web |title=UA Reports Rules Violations By Former Basketball Player Jason Terry |url=https://arizonawildcats.com/sports/2000/6/29/207915267? |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=University of Arizona Athletics |language=en}}</ref>
