The problem with Chambliss is not that he got an extra year, because those were the rules in effect at the time. The problem is he used a bogus medical condition to obtain the medical redshirt. The NCAA applied the rules in effect at the time, but the Ole Miss fan judge didn’t.



Yep.

What about 6/6

Or is the SEC just going to pretend that Chambliss didnt happen?


I think the 5 for 5 rule came about because of so many cases like Chambliss

We will never have another Max JOhnson story after this year- he graduated early 2019.

So Max is playing for a 5th school at age 25.5

The former clevland Browns TE Is 21 or 22?

Their argument will be those players didn't want to be in the NFL draft. They were automatically put there when their 4 years were up. Which is actually true. You don't have to sign up. You are automatically placed as eligible to be drafted


The pkayers were undrafted, right? So they CHOSE to join a team as an UFA.
I think that matters, as they were not forced into the NFL. They could have stayed in school to earn degree, if not completed

So if a class of 2023 gets a medical redshirt year 1, they are on the 5-5 and they are done after next year? They don''t get an extra year for the medical redshirt under the old rules?

That's a stupid argument. At the time of the draft they had no ability to return and play college ball. Even though they new the odds were against them of making a team, why not try since at the time college wasn't available

I'm thinking that Malachi Dupre and a few others are about to have an opportunity to have another decent payday in their upcoming future.

Chambliss is a different set of rules. It’s pretty clear his is worse than kids being told they were out eligibility and then going to mini camps. Chambliss is over here trying to get a school to lie for him and they wouldn’t, he also lost all of his cases until they found an ole miss alum and season ticket holder. That is a far worse thing for the sport than some kids getting 5 for 5.

The ole miss judge is far worse than the one Texas tech found, at least he was man enough to not cry while reading his ruling.

they gave him a medical redshirt when he wasn’t eligible for one. Yes, he was not eligible because they gave him one for a year that he was at Ferris st a division 2 school. The is that red shirts did not exist, medical or not in D-2 until 2025.

Should be noted that ole miss and drunk Pete tried to get Ferris State to lie about why Trinidad didn’t play that year and they wouldn’t.

he got two redshirts years, one a medical redshirt. I thought that is what redshirt years were for....some type of injury. But once you exhausted your redshirt, you were out of luck....unless you get a MS lawyer, OM grad to say differently. The truth is Chambliss getting a 6th year is a much bigger fallacy than returning players who were not giving a 5th year option contrary to the present rule. NCAA is such a stupidly led organization.

The SEC-because of commissioner Sankey's enormous ego-is now in the unenviable position of either taking on dozens of lawsuits by hundreds of players to defend their arbitrary exclusion of one class-or rolling over.

But isn't 5-5 apply regardless of injury? Meaning you have 5 years and that's it?

The NCAA denied his medical redshirt. Twice. It took a judge to let him play.

Chambliss tested the waters and realized that he was not going to get drafted high enough to sign a contract with guaranteed money. His agents were absolutely talking to NFL teams to figure this out.
