Are we really surprised that the local judge in Mississippi is going to allow the kid to play another year? Absolutely ridiculous situation.
Not at all surprised he will have his 6th or 7th year. I was responding to someone who said he lost and will have to declare. I think this afternoon the judge will rule in his favor. Hell, I will not be surprised if the judge went to Ole Miss himself! EDIT: Judge ruled for him! LOL. He will be back to Ole Miss.
He did. Don’t care. The NCAA’s argument is, essentially: if Chambliss gets a waiver it would open up the floodgates. But what if they treated him unfairly to try closing the floodgates that their own arbitrary decisions caused to be opened in the first place? What if he has a valid legal argument - that he, individually, was treated unfairly - and, the case is, appropriately, in state court, with a Mississippi judge, rather than a federal judge deciding on a broader issue of antitrust? The NCAA could fix their rules. Instead, they want to say - we’re the sole arbiter and this is what we say. Which would be fine, if they weren’t so spastic in how they’ve decided everything until now. Why should Trinidad Chambliss have to pay for their incompetence? Yes, this is about Ole Miss’s 2026 QB. But for Chambliss, it’s about his whole-life earning capacity. And should be. The NCAA dicked him good. He has three seasons as a college QB, two as a starter. I hope he gets a third.
Eh, still on the "fuck a kid who wants to spend a decade in college." I want no part of anyone who can't sack up and drag his ass to the NFL. Certainly tells me he KNOWS he won't make it in the Pro's or he would be on his way. It's hard enough to be an NFL QB and that's for guys who are drooling to get into the league. For a kid that is doing everything he can to NOT leave school....yeah, he can stay there and, when he's done playing, he can become one of those "student" coaches as he goes on for his graduate degrees. By the time he gets done he'll be a 25 year old rookie and, from my vantage point, he'll be approaching 30 by the time he "gets it" at the NFL level. Unless some team is super desperate, wants to invest a ton of time and resources into someone who "might" squeeze a decade of play...naw, don't see it happening. Chambliss is "dead" to me.
Imagine being the 4th string QB at Ferris State playing for free. …And 3 years later you are in the courts as the most high profile eligibility case trying to get another year and another $5 million from Ole Miss
Everyone else got the waiver. They tried to deny us for what reason? Carson Beck, Diego Pavia and Granowski all got it. I saw zero complaints on this board about Pavia getting it last year yet everyone’s piling on Chambliss. Why?
As you know, I don't follow college ball so didn't care about Beck, Pavia or Granowski. From what "little" I saw of Pavia he isn't going to make it in the NFL anyway so I guess it doesn't matter. "Little" being the operative word here on him. The only reason I commented on Chambliss is because of how many years he's already been in college and how "hard" he's fighting to stay. Make no mistake, I don't begrudge him that opportunity, far from it. Hey, if you can make a slick $5 mil staying at the college level, then by all means. What I don't want is a guy like that on my professional football team. I guess, as far as the Jets go, it doesn't really matter. There are a handful of HS QB's that are better than anything we had last year. It's just, with this team, it's going to have to be someone who "wants" to be an NFL QB AND someone who can shoulder the non-football related "load" and baggage that comes with this organization.
