He’s 24 years old and this is his 6th fucking season. He played multiple D2 seasons and got his chance last year, balled out, and proved he can be an NFL player. But because he had a boo boo and a little cold one year he used a corrupt ass judge to get another year because Ole Miss would be shit without him
Yeah the rule has been 4 games or less. Chambliss played exactly 0 games in 2022. Also dude he had to get his tonsils removed because of how bad his illness was, I don’t think you realize how big of a deal that is. I had my tonsils taken out in high school and that shit is painful, and he was in his 20’s when that happened so he had it even worse. This also isn’t like an nfl player coming back, he’s always been in college, bringing up Burrow and Kyler isn’t comparable.
Owen Heinecke has only played three years of CFB, but he played 15 minutes of lacrosse his freshman year. The NCAA counted this against them, he appealed and lost, and won’t get a 4th season. Yet he didn’t bitch and moan and use a corrupt judge to get another year, he grew some balls and decided he would go to the NFL. The fact Chambliss and players like him think they deserve special treatment at 24 years old and use a separate judge AFTER the NCAA denied him is absolutely pathetic
The NCAA is wildly inconsistent with how they rule that shit. Two things can be true at once. Legitimately, who cares about Chambliss getting another year, it’s not like Ole Miss is winning anything anytime soon. Now you’re making it clear Chambliss coming back just hurt your feelings.
I think everyone who can see how much Chambliss and Ole Miss just damaged the future of CFB care. Dude just opened a giant can of worms even worse than it already was. Now everyone will just use their own judges and go behind the NCAA’s back whenever they don’t get their way. Have fun watching players transfer mid season and get 10th years now that they can do whatever they want
I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a season that you played 0 games in shouldn’t count towards your 4 years of eligibility. That’s not opening a giant can of worms, that’s telling the ncaa to be consistent with how they enforce their own rules. You just showed everyone you have no idea how eligibility even works lmao
Yep we know you can’t respond to that with logic if you need to make a joke that is completely unrelated to the topic we were talking about. You know damn well that’s not even close to comparable to using a judge that literally graduated from your school to benefit yourself and the school you go to
Going to the same school isn’t saying much. There are plenty of alum that don’t even go to their own school’s football games. And even if he went to the same school, that doesn’t change the fact that a season where you didn’t even play a game shouldn’t be counted against your eligibility. This would be true even if the judge went to Southern Mississippi instead of Ole Miss. You’re intentionally missing the point because, yet again, you don’t know how eligibility works.
To be fair we don’t know for certain if another judge would because no one has been so desperate to stay in college for a 6th year and avoid getting a job that they took it to state court. I do think another judge would be a lot more logical, the judge in his case was on the verge of crying out of joy that he would be the one to award Chambliss another year. Like the dude took so much pride in “helping Ole Miss” that he didn’t care about the facts, and a federal judge would be more logical
I can see the argument for at least having a different judge. I’m saying why the ruling wouldn’t change though. You’re given 4 years of eligibility as a college player. A season where you couldn’t play a single game because you were sick (Mono is pretty bad, that shit had Sam Darnold out of the NFL for months, not to mention Tonsillitis on top of that which required surgery to treat) shouldn’t count as a year of eligibility if guys can redshirt after playing 33% of a season (4 games).
I get it’s frustrating to see older dudes in college but at the same time he’s trying to get the same thing the NCAA allows other guys to get. Especially when he hasn’t played a full season at the D1 level yet. I think for that reason (and to make sure he doesn’t go to the Jets since no human being should be subject to that method of torture) one more year is reasonable.
I can see arguments for why he should and shouldn’t play. At the same time, this is like if a Seahawks player was suspended or banned from the NFL, and then they took it to state court and sued the NFL knowing the judge was a Seahawks fan. The judge in the case was clearly incompetent/ didn’t care about the facts and just wanted to help his school
I hope this goes to federal court, and even if Trinidad won there I would stop complaining because at least an actual judge decided based on the facts and everything he’s learned, instead of acting like a moron and telling him the refs screwed him over and crying because he gets to help the school he attended
I mean in this case it would be like if the Seahawks player was suspended for deflating footballs when the balls felt deflated because they were inflated in a room temperature facility and brought outside in cold weather (ideal gas law). Two things can be true at once: there was a conflict of interest and the ruling makes sense.
