Trinidad Chambliss sues NCAA

[NoNC4Tubs]

I remember the ncaa reprimanded Oklahoma once for giving a player "extra" spaghetti. Team had a spaghetti dinner and he got a second or a third helping and no one else did.

Who even documented something as trivial as that!?!

Don't remember, but the kids had to "pay it back" to get eligible again.

It was 3 players actually.

Joey Aguilar at Tennessee was denied his TRO for an additional year at UT.

must not have been able to buy off the judge

Or he/she was a Vandy grad.

That is exactly what I was thinking...

Per Pete Thamel:

NCAA appealing the injunction allowing Chambliss to play. Basically the attorneys for the NCAA are saying that if student athletes can go find a judge to get a favorable ruling, then their ability to enforce eligibility rules are significantly hampered.

NCAA seems to have zero chance of winning any court hearing.

The NCAA is appealing. Which will be heard in a Mississippi court room. I'll bet that decision will be handed down next February sometime.

I do have an honest question, though. Why didn't he declare for the draft in this weak QB class?

Okie State alum?

Okie State alum?

Actually Oklahoma self reported it as a joke. Then the NCAA accepted it and made the players pay it back.

He's not a nfl qb

that hasn't stopped NFL teams from drafting guys before. some of them in the first round

True, and unless you're Patrick MaHolmes, based on size and ability which he's not, just don't seeing it work, but like you said some nut will probably draft him

Ha ha ha enforcing rules ha ha ha

Like when the NCAA got so mad at Kentucky basketball for cheating that they put the hammer down on Cleveland State.

Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss cleared to play in 2026 after Mississippi Supreme Court denies NCAA appeal

Chambliss has won his bid for another year of eligibility

I think the NCAA just appealed this to try to show that they are still boss. I don't think they were very convincing.

Are you basing the above strictly on his size? I can easily be wrong, but every time I have seen him play the kid looks excellent.
That said, the NFL is obviously a totally different situation.

I truly believe that the reason NFL scouts were a little dismissive was because he only had one year in D1 football. People forget that he came into the program as a post-Spring addition. Meaning that he wasn't around for any meaningful system learning until May 2025. And he started the season as a backup, potentially never really seeing the field since Austin Simmons had been the starter-in-waiting for a couple years already. When Simmons went down early, I figured it would be a long season for Ole Miss. Yet Chambliss came on strong from out of nowhere.

Same reason people are questioning Ty Simpson and where a team "needs" to draft him. Teams get a little leery when a kid only has 15 games under his belt in four years of college football. I'm sure Chambliss had even more question marks seeing that he only had ONE YEAR of D1 football on top of very few games as a starter on the D1 level.
