Chambliss Fights NCAA for Final Season
13 Jan
Summary
- Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss' eligibility appeal denied by NCAA.
- He is pursuing both an NCAA appeal and an NFL Draft preparation.
- Chambliss agreed to a significant NIL deal to return to Ole Miss.
Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss' college football future remains in limbo after the NCAA denied his request for an eligibility extension last week. His agent confirmed that Chambliss prefers to return for another college season, even as the university files an appeal. Simultaneously, attorneys are preparing to file a lawsuit challenging the NCAA's eligibility rules.
Despite the NCAA's ruling, Chambliss is preparing for the NFL Draft process, including potential participation in the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. He intends to graduate from Ole Miss regardless of his playing status. Notably, Chambliss had previously agreed to a lucrative revenue-sharing deal with Ole Miss, positioning him among the highest-paid college football players if he can play another season.
Chambliss' successful season with Ole Miss, leading them to their first College Football Playoff appearance, has established him as a draftable prospect. The NCAA cited a lack of necessary documentation for his waiver, but Chambliss' team is confident in their appeal and prepared to pursue further legal action if necessary.
