Or maybe the NCAA wanted to set a precedent that you shouldn’t play college football for 6 years. Asthma sucks but that doesn’t mean you should get a pass because you can’t get an easily controllable disease under control. Lots of guys sit on the sideline for a whole year and those years count.

That's part of the problem with the argument. There are guys that have played upwards of 8 years with multiple medical redshirts. They decided to draw an arbitrary line and it did not hold up under scrutiny.

I wonder if the NCAA has an ace up their sleeve on the Chambliss issue? NCAA ruled him ineligible. Local court enjoined the NCAA ruling. I wonder if the NCAA will seek to vacate wins, prevent post season participation or something similar? Maybe not, but the precedent created is alarming.


Not really. The NCAA didn’t really fight very hard. They didn’t want to let a 6th year go without looking like they were fighting it. But the facts are still true he deserved a 6th year. The NCAA just didn’t want to approve it and have percent for hundreds of players wanting a 6th year for no reason.

Ole Miss fans are the only ones who believe this.

He didn't "deserve" a 6th year more than anyone else and a lot less than some.
