Trinidad Chambliss sues NCAA

Another example of the NCAA’s abitrary rules and enforcement is the Bediako case. The NCAA has “ruled” that G League players are eligible to play back in college. In Bediako’s case however, they ruled that, since he signed a “two-way” G-League deal which allows the NBA team to call him up without taking a roster spot, that he is ineligible, although he never set foot on a court in an NBA game and was not on a roster. Court has essentially decided that it is a distinction without a difference in granting the temporary injunction, which I expect will be made permanent on Tuesday.

My point being, it’s not hard to find examples of NCAA arbitrary rules or enforcement and players today have figured out that they have the power through the courts to force their hand.

Not sure who said it, but bears repeating- IMO the only way to fix this at this point will be a collective bargaining agreement that is enforced both ways and unbreakable without consequences.

With next year's QB class he's also not guaranteed to go as high in the draft. So, it's a risk either way. Also, he had an excellent season this season, if he's able to go back to Ole Miss and he has a drop off in production, it could impact his draft status. There's a lot of ways to look at his situation, and all options have risks attached to them.

Correct. Assuming he is picked late first round, it would probably mean a 4 year deal in the $12-15 million four year deal with a club option for the 5th. And that is guaranteed money. Looking at next year, with that possible QB class looks to be rather risky. Then again, Chambliss could have a bang up year which improves his stock relative to the others.
The real goal for all these guys is getting to “the second contract”. That’s where the significant money gets made in most careers. The other consideration for Chambliss in coming back is delaying getting to that second contract by a year. Not to mention the risk of a significant injury.
Assuming he a first round pick this year, he is guaranteed about $12 million or more. I’d have to “swallow real hard” to roll the dice in that situation. But that is just me.

Man, what a great post. I think the way you think but I'm an old man and not a young, hyper-competitive 20-something who has always had to bet his pile on every roll of the dice his entire life to get to where he is right now.

I don't disagree. My point was that with today's kids, they want it NOW!! 😎
 
Players for decades have been able to make themselves eligible for the MLB draft and return to school if the didnt sign with a team for whatever reason.

This should have been the rule for all Collegiate Sports for the same time.

Yes but now what they are doing is the equivalent of signing a minor league contract or signing with the XFL then allowing them to come back afterwards and play College football or baseball.

This kid can’t play any better. This is a weak QB class. It only makes sense for him to leave instead of running the risk of injury.
 
here is something simple, treat everyone the same and never make any exceptions and you will be fine

Years 1-4/5: no transfer without sitting out a year.... period
Graduate: transfer one time without having to sit out

don't even have an appeal process

but NCAA has no backbone and created their own doom

Agree!

In that setup, kids would give a LOT of thought to where they were "committing" to... 😎

Kids today don't even know what the word means.:rolleyes:

especially in all this NIL mess and tampering. Having to sit out a year essentially makes these kids honor their contract. It is the wild west where people can just leave with no repercussions, it doesnt happen in any other professional sport.... but NCAA has no backbone

simply put, you cant sign a contract and then leave it

if you do, you sit a year.... period, no matter the situation. Even if you are in the right for leaving, it is just part of the game... better "commit" somewhere good

The NCAA keeps focusing on the wrong things arent changing the dynamics except to make them worse because the threat of lawsuit or they have already lost a lawsuit.

They could curtail a lot this movement if they would put some rigor back in the academic aspect of the student athlete. Its hard to get sued over not making grades not progressing to a degree and the like.
