Trinidad Chambliss sues NCAA

“Chambliss’ legal team argues the NCAA’s denial of his waiver request was a “bad-faith, unreasonable, and arbitrary decision,” and claims he would suffer irreparable financial harm without an additional year of eligibility.”

Straight out of the Pavia playbook. In other words, “Hey NCAA you’ve passed out so many waivers over the years that you basically flip a coin to make a decision”.

So ask for an injunction to allow Chambliss to play knowing it will have a good chance of happening, and also knowing it will most likely take a year or more for resolution one way or another.

The NCAA will lose this case but irreparable financial harm is really reaching. He technically is a student (along with being an athlete) and not an employee. He has a scholarship that im sure is a full ride and technically hes still considered an amateur athlete. I would also argue if he went into the draft he get drafted. So where is the irreparable financial harm?

Yeah I really don’t think financial harm is the ultimate goal. I believe the goal is to get the case in front of favorable eyes, get the injunction, and “run the clock out”. Based on the injunction, Chambliss plays in 2026 before the case gets adjudicated.

Can't argue against that as he definitely won't get that $5M from Ole Miss if he isn't granted that extra year...:rolleyes:

I think that his legal team will have a hard time proving the "bad-faith, unreasonable, and arbitrary decision" part though.😎

But it is basically the same argument used by Pavia last year. And IMO it isn’t about winning the case when all is said and done. It is about getting the INJUNCTION to allow him to continue to play. Get the hearing for the injunction in “favorable eyes in a favorable court” (which should be easy in Mississippi) and the 2026 season is over before the case gets litigated.

Is this the one that's over removing his tonsils?

He’s added a lot more, but yep.

He was later diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis in 2022 and ultimately underwent surgery to remove his tonsils in December 2024 after continued medical setbacks.


Exposure to Epstein Barr contracted mono, COVID, etc. He’s pulling out all the stops to get his “bag”. 🤢

Should be looking at Carson Beck, he graduated two years ago I believe.

Reporter asked him if he had class, he said something to that effect.

Beck said "no, no class, I graduated 2 years ago", when asked if he had class before the upcoming game. I don't know what he's been doing at Miami but it hasn't been going to class. They probably have someone taking online basket weaving for him just to say he's a student. He also said he's done after the game tonight so won't be enrolling for the spring semester.

We REALLY need a new NCAA athlete requirement to attend 95% of classes in person at the school you're playing for/enrolled in and working toward an actual degree. No skipping the semester to play in a bowl game too. Let's rein in this NIL lunacy.

This will be an interesting case to see the outcome. My guess is he gets the extra year. I'm not basing that on anything other than my gut feeling. I kind of want to see Chambliss another year, especially since we don't play them, but I also think it would be ridiculous if he was granted another year.

The arbitrary part is pretty easy. Just point to all the cases that look exactly the same yet the NCAA rules differently. Courts are getting intolerant of an organization that frequently violates its own “rules” for no good reasons. They have done it to themselves.
