I do not understand how it was not rejected and case closed when Chambliss admitted he was healthy enough to practice with no restrictions in 2022.

So is Chambliss a permanent decision or just h can play while the courts figure it out?

In your opinion, what was the NCAA's best piece of evidence or their best witness?
Their cross-examination of Chambliss. In any other courtroom, that would have completely sunk his request for an injunction.
- When he testified that he was a full participant in all practices in 2022
- when he testified he was able to manage his symptoms with claritin and other OTC meds
- when he testified that he willfully chose to skip his follow up appointment with his treating physician following his tonsillitis in August of 2022.
- when he testified that it was more important for him to play football and wait three years to have his tonsils removed. In the meantime, he won a DII national title and was runner up for DII POY, the whole time battling these same symptoms and simply managing them with OTC meds.
All of that testimony should have completely tanked any argument he had that the reason he didn't lodge any snaps in 2022 was because of his health.

the latter. He was given a temporary injunction, but a full trial very likely won't happen until the 2026 season is over. The NCAA could file an interlocutory appeal, but that will also be heard by the appellate court in the State of Mississippi. Good luck with that.

I would start with the fact he didn’t receive a redshirt at the time due to having a sore throat. I’d follow that up with Ferris State’s unwillingness to lie on behalf of Chambliss and Ole Miss.
No facts support a redshirt. Redshirts are given based on injury or illness after proper petition, timely petition and proof of illness or injury that meets a reasonableness standard.

All you need is an injunction from a friendly court.

No precedent is established by the judge’s decision.

What evidence or witness did the NCAA produce which helped their case? I'm not talking about cross-examination of the plaintiff.

What is your knowledge of Trinidad’s position? I’ve heard a lot of misinformation and outright self-serving bs about what the lawsuit is about. Do you realize that Trinidad would be eligible for his medical redshirt if he went back to D-2? The medical redshirt criteria is different than that of a D-1 athlete. The school provided the data needed for his medical redshirt at the D-2 level. It isn’t his fault that he and Ferris State could not foresee needing to have documentation for the D1 criteria. It is exactly the NCAA’s fault for not accepting the documentation when they made their decision to end his eligibility. This court injunction doesn’t overturn the NCAA decision, it allows the decision to be adjudicated in an unbiased platform and forces the NCAA to confront and defend its hypocrisy.

Rhetorical question…who and what is the ncaa? The issue is schools refuse to follow the rules they themselves have made. A judge should never be involved. Courts ruled long ago that participation in sports is not a right. College sports could solve the transfer ordeal, eligibility issues, and play for pay today. Greed won’t allow it. Why did Ole Miss ignore their own rules? I know what they will say and it is true….no one else follows the rules. We eat our own.

Statements like this is such bullshite. You have no clue what a family will do with the money THEIR KID makes.
There have been professional athletes, which these millionaire kids are, that make several millions more a year and end up broke. Why.... because they are stupid and only care about the now.

Correct, the goofballs at Ole Miss fail to grasp this and it’s also why the judge spent over an hour trying to justify it.

You realize testimony is evidence right?
The only tangible evidence either party would have used or did use was his medical records and the NCAA guidelines. Chambliss introduced both so the NCAA didn’t need to.
The only witness the NCAA could have called was his treating physician in Michigan. Typically in civil trials doctors are immune from subpoenas to trial. They can be deposed and records can be subpoenaed. This was an emergency relief hearing. Time is not on your side. Chambliss called his coach, his mom, and the Ole Miss team doctor, not exactly a huge pull. That case came down to legal arguments and was decided on the pleadings if it wasn’t already obvious

Because DII counts by semester, so he could have taken a spring semester off to play this fall. They have different rules. This was talked about at the hearing. He didn't need a medical redshirt to play another year at Ferris St. he acknowledged on the record he knew the rules would be different were he to transfer to a D1 school
quote:

It's not Ferris St's fault they didn't know he'd leave for a D1 program. I agree. But Chambliss knew or should have known this would be an issue for him when he decided to transfer.

They accepted the documentation. They simply ruled that what he provided was not consistent with an incapacitating illness pursuant to their guidelines

local court did not rule eligibility. it was just an injunction to freeze the NCAA denial basically. Then NCAA will appeal it again in court hopefully in a neutral court room. Ole Miss is just hoping to delay that court time until after the season. Now nothing is stopping schools for filing for another year for players and once NCAA denies it then just getting local judge to file the injunction and then delay it if possible to get that season in before a non-biased court overrules it and denies eligibility.

True.
Which is why, while not a legal precedent as in jurisprudence, it’s tactical precedent for schools to use to their advantage.

Is there a side in this that has the burden of proof? Seems like if there is that it would be on Chambliss. I don't pretend to be a lawyer and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
