Claims in 2022 that he had incapacitating tonsillitis

Never visits doctor for said incapaciting tonsillitis besides one doctors note from Dec 2022 saying ‘he’s doing well’.

Neglects for over 1,500 days to file for a medical redshirt

Receives a $5 mil NIL offer

Days later files for a medical redshirt

Gets rejected by the NCAA 3-4 times due to lack of medical documentation or proof as said by NCAA

Goes out and finds a local judge and court. Judge is an Ole Miss alumni, who also asked Chambliss to sign a football for him after court (picture on twitter, not 100% sure), and is a judge of the court of Oxford where OM is located

I don’t care if chambliss will be good in the new offense without kiffin and Weiss, this is just wrong. The NCAA has to have a complete overhaul of their processes and not allow local courts to overrule their decisions as we’ll see 35 year olds get continued eligibility because local John Doe judge who is an alumni of said school and has season tickets keeps extending it for him overruling the ncaa. This is just flat out wrong on many levels from not only college sports alone, but the very law itself, sanctity just gone.

What is to stop any player from claiming any illness from 4 years ago that has no doctors note or documentation and can get a local judge to rule in their favor? This is a really bad precedent set.

There has to be some federal level ruling prohibiting lower courts from over ruling the NCAA. That is the only possible solution.

Jesus Christ, let the kid make some guaranteed money while he has the chance.

He and his camp know he wasn't going to get a $5,000,000 contract from any NFL team.

At best he'd be drafted in a later round and probably cut after camp, only to get picked up for the practice squad, making weekly pay, no guaranteed contract.

Can’t argue this. The NFL is a crap shoot and $5 mil could be legacy money if he doesn't fritter it all away. But, the OP is spot on. This was a legally contrived clusterfrick and CFB is out of control.

Don’t worry, after playing for drunk Pete next season this will be the last dollar he ever makes playing football.

It was a very contrived case. So is NCAA enforcement. The case is less about the details of Trinidad specifically and more about the NCAA being a terrible organization broadly. If they consistently followed their own bylaws, they wouldn’t be here.

Ole Miss and Chambliss aside this is killing college football which, not long ago, held an undisputed claim as the most popular sport in the country. There is no law that CFB remains the most popular sport- until in the late 70s tennis had a bigger draw than NBA, as an example.

The matter should not have been adjudicated in state court as between 30%-50% of the games are out of state. And that’s before TV contracts.

Perhaps one of the board attorneys can shed some light on why this wasn’t by nature a federal case as opposed to kangaroo court nonsense?

Thought one of the reasons the NCAA was started was because of older players being brought back in.....ringers I think.
Was a safety concern

Because the NCAA was never incorporated as a citizen of a particular state. If it had been, it could have claimed diversity jurisdiction for purposes of having the case removed to federal court. In other words, they fricked that up just like they do everything else.
