He has a valid case and precedent to back him up. Medical redshirts are issued all the time and they always extend a player past the normal 4-5 year window. Otherwise it makes no sense for them to exist. The only debate is was his injury severe enough for him to qualify.
This isn't anywhere near the most outlandish case we have seen so far.

Give them 6 years to play 6. After 6 years, whether you are injured or not, you’re done.
5 to play 4. Anything more is bullshite.

He should be told to go to the NFL or Canada. Enforcing NCAA eligibility rules shouldn’t be seen as anti-trust. No one is keeping him from pursuing football as a career. Go out to the big leagues and make it happen, big boy.

Because it’s all bullshite. He’s played in 5 seasons.

Then why do medical redshirts exist and why are they dispensed arbitrarily?
I think I'm the only person in the thread that has actually looked at his career and his appeal.
He barely played his 1st 3 seasons. By the "NCAA rules", he potentially has a medical redshirt available/eligible for the 2022 season. In that year, he had a knee injury in the 1st game. He missed the next 7 weeks. Then he suited up for 3 other games, but barely played, while struggling with physical and mental issues recovering from the injury. Even counting those 4 total games he suited up, that is less than 30% of the total games that TCU played that year (15 total games). That is the threshold for him to receive the exemption.
I do love how everyone is so glib or differential about this. Morris is at best a journeyman QB professionally. He will struggle to get make an NFL roster, and will likely be a practice squad guy at best. If he gets another year, he'll easily get 500K+ from either UVA or Clemson. Who wouldn't file a lawsuit to try to secure that much money?

Life is hard all over. 7th year is a complete joke. He should be leaving grad school

What are you talking about? This isn't a life lesson. He plays a professional sport and is fighting against a "rule" that has flexible language. Other players have been granted exemptions on similar circumstances. You think he should just say "lump it", and walk away from an incredible amount of money? Would you do that? That's just dumb and reckless.
People just don't get it. College sports are professional now. This isn't about him getting a degree or graduate school. He's trying to get paid. He might get 1M on the open transfer market, if a QB needy team has an injury/need. Until the rules are clearly defined, implemented, and enforced nationally, it's still a free for all.

They’re all outlandish. 5 years to play 4 should be all there is. Maybe could see a sixth in extremely rare cases. Never ever a seventh. 25 year olds playing college ball who are in their seventh year is ridiculous
Posted on 2/25/26 at 7:53 am to brmark70816
Oh shut the frick up. We all understand it professional now. That doesn’t require extending the length of time someone can take a roster spot before going to the actual league or moving on with their lives.

Should the Covid year count?
Why are there medical redshirts?
If you can't answer those two or defend the counterargument, then you have no argument or debate. Those two exemptions exist. Why do they exist? If they do, should people be able to utilize them? When they do, why do people have issues with them doing it?
You are angry with the system that has allowed all of this for many years. But you are directing your anger at the player, that is just following the precedents already established. It makes no sense.

It should, but doesn’t.

For very rare cases. Not to extend every person’s college career indefinitely.

I opposed medical redshirts and the covid year not counting. I also oppose all of these players gaming the weak NCAA simply because they aren’t good enough for the next level

It’s like staying 7 years in an internship or 7 years as an apprentice learning a trade, either you have what it takes to be a pro or you don’t. Chandler Morris clearly doesn’t and needs to move on with his life

I think he has a good case. He's been in school 6 years, but his 1st year was Covid (and he didn't really play). Out of the other 5 seasons, he's only played significant time in 3 of those seasons (the last 3 years).

Well there you go. That's one year gone.

That's not specific enough. Obviously it extends beyond a normal duration and is in excess of the normal redshirt.
So if you receive a medical redshirt season, plus a regular redshirt, the covid year, and 4 regular seasons.. that's 7 years.

So, that's a disagreement with the system. But yet everyone is pissed and mocking the player.

95% of the current players aren't good enough for the next level. There are entire teams with only 1-2 guys that even has a chance. College is their only opportunity to make some bank. Until official guidelines are established and enforced, there are tons of blurry lines. The NCAA started the medical redshirt for some reason, which somehow gives them medical authority to determine a players ability to play. It's a mess. But if it exists, players can and should take advantage if they are able..

I’m not pissed at all. But sure I’ll mock him.
It’s time to give up playing games, Chandler. Most people hit that point before now. You aren’t good enough, get a job.

therein lies the problem. The purpose of college football isn't to make a living playing college football. Just because some people are able to doesn't mean that's what it's there for.

There are clear guidelines on medical redshirts.
- it has to be a season ending injury
- the injury has to occur in the first half of the season
- the player cannot surpass the participation threshold
- there has to be medical documentation contemporaneous with the injury
You said yourself that Chandler Morris played early, got hurt, then returned and played again in the year in question, so it doesn't appear he suffered a season ending injury
If the NCAA is to enforce its own guidelines, it has to take a rigid approach to granting/denying medical redshirts. Them not doing exactly what they are doing with Chandler Morris is the exact reason why you are seeing al of these lawsuits. Honestly, TCU is retarded for playing him in garbage time 3 times to close out the 2022 season. That was totally unnecessary and put him in the position he's in now.
