In the Chambliss case we are arguing something that has precedent. We are arguing whether his illness was severe enough to grant a medical redshirt season.
Okay, then what is the rational for letting Mikey Keene, QB for Arizona State, have a 6th year? No medical redshirt for him. He played his first 4 years for UCF and Fresno, transferred to Michigan last year and lost out to Bryce Underwood. Didn't see the field. Now is at Arizona State and just lost out the starting job there too. So how is his 6th year allowed without an illness?
Don't you recognize the arbitrary nature of how players are being ruled eligible by the NCAA and conferences? It's like they are putting their finger up in the air to see which way the wind is blowing. They just have no clue.
And in that environment, you're going to get chaos...which is what we have now.

NOW you've identified the root cause of the issue....MONEY. All stakeholders are jockeying for position for a piece of this pie. It's a BIG business and its product "college" football with rules that are being arbitrarily applied and changed.
Fans are not happy and things began to change with the "portal" and NIL. Until that is solved, it's the Wild Wild West and the courts are the only ones stepping in, good or bad, and making the NCAA and conferences consider how they are running their respective organizations.
We, the Fans, are holding the short end of the stick.

Sankey did this to himself by allowing the bias Ole Miss Judge declare Trinidad eligible…
I mean...what the hell could he have done? Even if he filed an appeal there would have likely been an injunction that would have allowed Trinidad to remain eligible as the case snaked its way slowly through the courts.
The NCAA and the various conferences within the FBS system have been handicapped by these judges who continually rule in favor of the athlete and not the sport.

That’s why the vote by the presidents was needed, and it was unanimous except one dumbass school abstained.
The problem here is that you and the others are pre-supposing LSU is going to violate any rule. Have they done that yet?
Would you consider it a violation of an SEC rule if the players are allowed to play for LSU or any other team in SEC by court order like Chambliss for Ole Miss?
So, who is the final arbiter of which players are eligible to play and under what rules? The NCAA, Conferences, or the courts? One of those 3 will prevail, but it's not the schools are the players who are making the final decision.
Again, LSU will avail itself of the opportunity if it exists. Tell me you school will not.

You seem to be proud of this fan behavior.
I am pretty apathetic towards it. Stupid drunk people do stupid drunk people things, regardless of what color shirt they are wearing.
What I am amused by is that a fanbase who champions the debauchery of new orleans and who screams “suck that tiger dick bitch” clutches their pearls so tightly over it.

And what about the other Alabama fans in packed restaurant? The ones that witness the assault and did nothing about it. Was the restaurant packed with "stupid" drunk Alabama fans.
You seem to respond emotionally to words. There is a big difference between action and words...ask your Tea Bagger fan.

If the players are former pros then yes. The rule is clear. It is against SEC rules for a team to play after they have signed a professional contract or appeared on a NFL roster. There is not room for interpretation. Either a player signed a contract and/or appeared on a NFL roster or they didn’t.
There is an SEC rule which addresses this directly.
There is no SEC rule prohibiting a sixth year medical redshirt player from playing. Just the opposite, SEC rules allow players granted a medical redshirt to play.
Whether you like it or not a judge effectively granted Chambliss a medical redshirt, so he is eligible. The NCAA appealed it but the Mississippi Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal. So the issue was settled, Trinidad Chambliss is eligible. And as there is no SEC rule prohibiting medical redshirts from playing he is well within SEC rules to play.
You seem to be getting two separate issues mixed together - court rulings vs. actual SEC rules. SEC rules which LSU agreed to abide by.

I am sorry you got teabagged in Krystals. Alas, I was not there to intervene. I would have argued a sharpie marker would have been more appropriate.

SEC is weak. The league continues to lose power. Even the Big 12 and its leaders looked stronger.

That is easy. He did not play in a single game one season so he redshirted. That game him 5 years of eligibility. Add an extra year of eligibility that the NCAA granted everyone for covid and you get 6 years of eligibility.
I had never heard of Keene before your post, so I am not familiar with situation. But what I posted is how a guy could get 6 years of eligibility without a medical redshirt.

SEC rules for a team to play after they have signed a professional contract or appeared on a NFL roster.
“The SEC adopted and announced that rule on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. It was intended to take effect immediately for the 2026 season.
This was not a longstanding SEC eligibility rule. It was created after court orders opened a path for former professional signees—including Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris—to return to college and after LSU began arranging to add them.” [according to a ChatGPT search.]
This is why the court ordered the SEC to show cause why it wasn’t defying a court order by changing the rules by instituting one that was not in effect prior to the players’ lawsuits. I doubt the SEC will meet that court requirement or defend it. They got caught moving the goal posts without thinking through the consequences.
By the way, please acknowledge that the players in question have not been added to the LSU roster…nor has LSU broken any of the previous rules or the newly adopted rules at this moment.
Maybe all the haters should take deep breath until the landscape settles and all the players and colleges can be sorted out via who is or isn't legally eligible per the archaic application of the "rules" for the respective entity.
I do know this, it's not the same as it was in the 90's or pre-2020 when players were being granted by default another year to play. Its going on steroids now that there is a payday for players in the sport.

They have not. LSU’s legal counsel is on their knees begging and praying for that not to happen. But Kiffin has stated on ESPN that he plans to.

Incorrect, he gave Chambliss a TRO, the case won't be heard until the season is over. Chambliss is in the same position that all of these other "former pros" are in.

Chambliss is in violation of Article 14.01.01 of the SEC bylaws.
quote:
14.01.1 Compliance With Other NCAA and Conference Legislation. Each student-athlete of each member institution who
competes in, or is on the roster of a team that competes in, intercollegiate varsity or junior varsity athletic competition must comply
with the Constitution, Bylaws, and other rules, regulations, and legislation of the Conference and the NCAA applicable to his/her
sport in order to be eligible for athletically-related aid, practice, or competition
Why do you defend some players that circumvent the rules and spend hours a day trashing others? Is it the innate hypocrisy?
