Some poor associate just had their Friday completely fucked and had to cancel date night again, leaving their significant other to contemplate their life choices
*youāll never get to take it, and if you do, your anxiety will spike because you have to make all that time up sometime else. And if you had a slow month because the partners were out and didnāt do a great job of delegating? Lol tough shit, thatās still on you to make up.Ā
I went inhouse 3 years ago. A firm recently tried to recruit me back and I almost went, but then I remembered spending 2 hours every tuesday night entering time decided against it. Working 10-20 more hours per week was one thing. Tracking time was equally awful.
Yup. I hit the timing lottery and got an in-house position right out of law school and itās always hilarious to grab drinks with friends from law school and hear about their experiences (plus I have to twiddle my thumbs and wait until 5:30 to meet up with them because they canāt leave earlier than that)
Iām an engineer with billable hours and recently had to hire an attorney who does billable hours and itās a different level of billable hours for sure. I donāt know how you guys do it.Ā
The real frustration sets in when I get back the invoice reductions of my time. I then spend more time fighting for my old time, but I'm not able to bill for any of it.
Though filing a lawsuit or appeal for this case would not be so urgent that it had to be done today. In that way, billable hours could probably wait until Monday.
Half the attorneys and assistants in my firm (in Portland) are going to leave after lunch for this afternoon's game; I hope the billable hours will wait until we get back!
It would be poor practice to not have the majority of an appeal already at least mostly completed. Maybe some changes in light of the ruling, but it should be basically done.
It's been a couple of decades, but when I interned at a law firm, I saw a whole lot of blow, alcoholism, and busted marriages due to the office affairs.
Any stressful job where you work long or odd hours with your coworkers will have high rates of infidelity. Lawyers and bankers can just afford the good coke.
as a lawyer now- there is a difference between most lawyers and those fancy firms. Most of that is only at those super high end fancy frims. The rest of us just work a generally normal 9-5 job.
what kind of white shoe lawfirm bullshit is this? an 8-Ball? Some of you fancypants might have those just sittin' around. the lawyers I know just have a couple bottles of adderall on standby, tyvm.
As a former poor associate, I can confirm they usually do NOT have āthat shit ready to goā and will absolutely be working this until the literal eleventh hour
Lmao one time a partner asked me to draft a reply in support of a motion for summary judgment BEFORE we had received the opposition. I was like āwhat the fuck?ā And she goes āyou should able to anticipate their arguments.ā
Motherfucker I can barely read, let alone read minds.
NCAA will slow roll it and force it past his window to go the the NFL at a minimum. Wisconsin had a similar case that was stuck in litigation all year and the player got fucked and was never allowed to play. He could risk it but probably not worth the risk.
Not to mention Ole Miss. They going to bet on him and wait, or pick up another starter now? I assume the latter, so what happens when they win the appeal? They pay for two starting QBās?
In this case Chambliss has to now be complementing going into the draft.
I'm no draft expert but with what he showed in the playoffs some team would probably take him on day 2. If he had an amazing combine maybe he could climb into the first round based on having a high potential ceiling.
As someone who does follow the draft, it pains me to say this because I like Trinidad...but your take is far too optimistic. He has no chance of going round 1 this year.
To start, hes beyond the age at which "high potential ceiling" is a plus for a prospect. He will be a 24 year old rookie.
He is ranked right around the 5th or 6th best QB in this class currently. It isnt a deep class, and given his traits (undersized, older, just 1 year of starting experience at the FBS level), he is probably a Day 3 player. He would be lucky to sneak into day 2 with a strong offseason.
There is a reason he pushed for the extra year - he and his team know where he stands as an NFL prospect and it would have been much better for him financially to stay in school.
Things are what they are now, and he will probably have to take a shot at the NFL now barring a miraculous (and quick) appeal. He will almost certainly be drafted, so its not all a loss for him despite the financial hit of missing on the extra year.
College football is a $14+ billion annual revenue industry. It is a business that has been rigorously expanding its bottomline for decades, gotten exorbitantly wealthy in the process, and become one of the two richest sporting competitions in the world (only the NFL generates more revenue).
It should not be shocking at all that a business of this scale has enough pull to get its main revenue generators to want to stick around.
The only reason there is any controversy at all is because America has had a warped view of college sports and athletics for too long. They wanted the sport to keep growing and generating billions, with the facilities and admin/coaching pay packages to show for it, while at the same time fielding the most elite athletes in the world, and while also, somehow, having those athletes engaging with the game as if they were just competing im intramural sports with every other admitted student.
That was never sustainable, and its a miracle the model didnt blow up sooner.
Injunction granted in July, NCAA appealed and got it reversed.
Trial scheduled for October. Trial pushed to 2026. Another injunction request filed in August with additional information. Never got a ruling on the 2nd injunction. Dropped the case in Nov
When I was in High School, Tim Beck (Vandy's OC) was the Head Coach there and he used to run high school camps and invite all of the major high school programs from the Kansas City metro. Ik it was probably largely a recruiting thing but it was fun to be coached by a highly successful college coach for a time.
Went to high school with his kid in Pittsburg, was a year or two younger than me. Our high schools starting QB that was like 4? Years ahead of me was the starting QB for Pittstate when they won the DII natty in 2011.
It should be impossible. Just give everyone 5 years. No red shirts, no grey shirts, no exceptions. If you lose 3 years dealing with injuries then sorry about your luck, life just isnāt fair sometimes.
Crazy some of these dudes are taking a paycut to go to the NFL. Even crazier to think back on if this system had always been in place. Tebow was worth $5mil/year for at least 3 years. Johnny Manziel might have gotten more in a year at A&M than he earned in his whole NFL career.
Alvin Kamara was making like $1m a year until he was on the lesser side of his prime. Itās insane the way NFL contracts work. Itās why I hate when people say someone doesnāt deserve their pay, because thereās so many years we donāt deserve their service either.
RBs are now the lowest paid position but this is also about the rookie wage scale.
The CBA is negotiated by the league and the player's union. The union represents its members. The guys not yet in the league are not the union's members so the union agrees for them to be under paid for the first 4 years of their career. This leaves more cap space to be available to go towards current members.
More like the Sam Bradford Legacy. He made such a crapton of money on his bloated 1st overall contract before even showing he could be the QB of the future or get the Rams to the playoffs.
Cam Newton and Andrew Luck would have gotten a huge bag bigger than even many veteran QBs before taking a snap if the NFL had the rookie wage scale not changed.
Some guys did back in the day if those 30 for 30s are anything to go by. I forgot which one, but some guys leaving college were taking pay cuts going pro in the 80s/90s.
Quinn Ewers has got to be the most glaring example of this to me in recent times. He's earning 1.08 million for 4 years, with only 131k guaranteed with the Dolphins.
While he allegedly turned down 8 million from an unknown CFB program?
Just makes zero sense to me. He could have made 8 million, possibly played for a natty, and upped his draft stock had he stayed.
If you're very confident you're gonna make it in the NFL then going early makes sense. Staying a year means it's another year before you get to big money, and raising your draft stock to the first round adds another year into that. It's obviously a way way safer route, but in the event that Ewers ends up being a solidified starter it pays off in the long run. He'd be on that second contract in 2029 instead of possibly 2031Ā Ā
Also it's not just about money to some of these guys. He's made enough where he already never has to work if he's smart. He may legit just want to get better and have an extra year in the big leaguesĀ
I wondered if this was the case with seeing how emotional he was last night. Not that it would be weird for him to be emotional after the loss, but you could tell it was hitting him really hard and it just made me think he thought his college career was truly over.
Most of his major NFL hype also came from 1 game of data tbf. Before Georgia he was viewed as a 4th round pick. Not until after that game did people start to discuss him as a top 50 pick.
I saw that too, but if OM kicker makes that midgame fieldgoal then they are kicking the winning fg at the end of the game instead of throwing that hail mary.
if Miami's kicker does too then they're back to not
and if the OM kicker did and the Miami kicker didn't, then chances are Miami is also playing defense slightly differently knowing they have to defend the 35 and not the end zone
For one year (big time maybe here too, more below) and in that year he could easily fall down draft boards simply by being one year older and not progressing significantly.
Poor QB class + finished the season hot = Day 2 pick, likely R2.
Tyler Shough got a $5m signing bonus and his $10m contract fully guaranteed. The last pick of the 2nd round got $4.2m guaranteed (all at signing) on a 4 year deal worth $7.1m. You also get a much longer leash as a 2nd round pick, so youāre likely to see the full deal even if itās not fully guaranteed at signing.
In comparison, if he stays and slides to R5, Shedeur got $450k guaranteed (all at signing) on a 4 year deal worth $4.6m. If he gets cut by a new coach this year or next, heāll have made just over $2m and will enter QB purgatory.
The kid should strike while the iron is hot because the opportunity cost is massive long term, both financially and for his career potential.
Honestly? It sucks for him, could have made a lot more money quickly in college, but his draft stock might also never be higher. He's draftable at this point which could be best in his long term interests.
Have a question about this, looking at his career stats, it shows he didnāt even play in the 2022 in the 2 games he was āhealthyā(could be the wrong website). Do we think this is more of a I was actually not able to play or since I wasnāt gonna start Iām gonna act like it wasnāt able to play so I can get another redshirt
Edit: from Pete Thamel, āThe documents provided by Ole Miss and the studentās prior school include a physicianās note from a December 2022 visit, which stated the student-athlete was ādoing very wellā since he was seen in August 2022. Additionally, the student-athleteās prior school indicated it had no documentation on medical treatment, injury reports or medical conditions.ā
This just seems like an attempt to get another redshirt when he wasnāt gonna play
And while he did keep Ole Miss in the Miami game when Lacey got banged up. The nearly thrown picks is an issue, but he was moving the ball in the 2nd half.
Someone will take the risk knowing he has huge upside.
Yeah not sure why he wants to go back unless thereās something Iām missing besides money. He seems like he would be NFL ready but probably not a high round pick
Unpopular opinion: no college player should be allowed to have anything beyond 4 years of eligibility. He would be 24, the age of an NFL player, playing against mostly 18-22 year olds. Thereās something wrong with that picture.
My take is always been they should get 5 years. Redshirt the first year and you'll still have 4. Don't redshirt and if you get a early season-ending injury, then you'll have that extra year. Anything after 5 years - nope
Completely and totally agree with this take. Itās gotta be 5 years no matter what the circumstances are and that would give younger guys an actual chance to play.
Actually (pushes glasses up nose) the majority of college students do not finish in four. Most data sources estimate that number to be around 40 to 45 percent.
I mean I think Chambliss should definitely get the one year waiver but Beck didnāt play for his first 3 years one of which was a redshirt and one of which was Covid. This is his third year as a starter and when you have guys in their 6th/7th years of CFB on their 3rd/4th school then itās hard for me to say a guy like Beck is the problem. NCAA needs to grow a pair and just say you get 5 years eligibility no matter who you are or where you go or what happens injury wise. Itās the 40 year old kickers and that TE from Miami who got 9 years of eligibility who are the real problems.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but this (for me) is a bigger issue than NIL or the transfer portal in terms of the talent disparity in CFB. College football should not be littered with 23-25 year olds playing their 5th, 6th, 7th years of football against 17-20 year olds. If nothing else gets fixed, there should very strict parameters around age and number of years played for CFB eligibility, regardless of if medicals etc.
Oh well. Waiting on the lawsuit to be filed later today. š
Some poor associate just had their Friday completely fucked and had to cancel date night again, leaving their significant other to contemplate their life choices
Billable hours waits for no one.
How in the world did you get that flair?
I think you have to have prove you are an attorney, at least thatās what I thought someone said before
No, you can be a billable hours enthusiast. Just gotta go get the flair.
Iām laughing at the though of all of us having to submit our bar cards for verification through
Higher bar required than on r/legaladvice
Let's be honest, that's not saying all that much
And twice that of legaladviceofftopic. I despise that place
Also zero shot I ever link my bar card and my shitposting website lol
that's the place where apparently some of the regular posters are cops who give "legal advice" right?
Yep! Its commonly accepted that there's mods there that are cops who give advice.
Texas flairs in shambles
Not a lawyer, but amused that I understand the joke since I live here.
Ah man that's rough but a good one.
I'm laughing at a flair that has a moral character clause attached to it.
Imagine getting reported to the ARDC because you're shitposting in a college football sub.
Hey, quite a few professions have billable hours. Lawyers arenāt that special
Billable Hours Enthusiast is a great band name.
I am an attorney, but no you donāt need to prove anything. I just really love billable hours (pls make them go away).
As an attorney that just started working at my first billable hours firm, end me
But you have unlimited PTO!*
*youāll never get to take it, and if you do, your anxiety will spike because you have to make all that time up sometime else. And if you had a slow month because the partners were out and didnāt do a great job of delegating? Lol tough shit, thatās still on you to make up.Ā
Unfortunately thats not just an attorney thing
Whoa whoa. You still take the vacation, itās just that you work remote the entire time during
As an attorney who went in-house four years ago, I feel like a caged bird that has been set free!
Good luck man. Billables are soul-sucking
I went inhouse 3 years ago. A firm recently tried to recruit me back and I almost went, but then I remembered spending 2 hours every tuesday night entering time decided against it. Working 10-20 more hours per week was one thing. Tracking time was equally awful.

Iām on year 9 of it. Shit still sucks, if youāre wondering. You just get used to the suck.
Iām an engineer with billable hours and recently had to hire an attorney who does billable hours and itās a different level of billable hours for sure. I donāt know how you guys do it.Ā

Hell yeah. Sometimes you just have to tell the billable hours to get fucked.
Holy shit what a flair
It would be poor practice to not have the majority of an appeal already at least mostly completed. Maybe some changes in light of the ruling, but it should be basically done.
Especially after a verbal denial in December.
You mean some poor associate is about to murder an 8-ball and bang a legal secretary while working an all-nighter.

I like how you didn't refute the "banging a legal secretary" part
[deleted]
Some things are simply a given.
technically in one case it's another lawyer, not a secretary.
Trust me if you're doing an all-nighter, the last thing on your mind is having sex with a co-worker at the office.
Sex in the office is for when you have nothing to do.
On the other hand think of how ahead they are on their January hours now!
Itās me, Iām the associate.
No for this case but I did just have my Friday get fucked.
Yet here you are lmao
Theyāre gonna ruin my Friday, Iām gonna take a shit and scroll Reddit for a minute.
Nah you know they got that shit ready to go
Lawsuit before end of hour
As a former poor associate, I can confirm they usually do NOT have āthat shit ready to goā and will absolutely be working this until the literal eleventh hour
Clients hate paying to get shit ready to go if there is any chance that shit will not need to go anywhere.
What do you mean? You donāt work extra on forms that that may never be used just in case?

Motherfucker I can barely read, let alone read minds.
Someoneās going to get divorced because Trinidad Chambliss isnāt good enough for the NFL
NCAA will slow roll it and force it past his window to go the the NFL at a minimum. Wisconsin had a similar case that was stuck in litigation all year and the player got fucked and was never allowed to play. He could risk it but probably not worth the risk.

Of course.
We may have lost the battle but billable hours will win the war
Chambliss ends his college career with a losing record against just 3 programs: Miami, Montana, and Pittsburg State
Just the Blue Bloods
Do Montana and Pittsburg State also have coke money?
Pittsburg State definitely has corn money
When I was in High School, Tim Beck (Vandy's OC) was the Head Coach there and he used to run high school camps and invite all of the major high school programs from the Kansas City metro. Ik it was probably largely a recruiting thing but it was fun to be coached by a highly successful college coach for a time.
Went to high school with his kid in Pittsburg, was a year or two younger than me. Our high schools starting QB that was like 4? Years ahead of me was the starting QB for Pittstate when they won the DII natty in 2011.
Iām so confused what this has to do with Pittsburgh State and corn moneyĀ
lmao the majority of reddit. someone shares something and there's always someone else that shares a personal experience nobody asked for
I think they have a badass mascot too if memory serves me right (gorillas?)
Hell yeah
High-fructose corn syrup isn't that intense a drug, but it does rake in the money.
Iāll go check the bathrooms at the college bars in Missoula. BRB
Gorillas is one of my favorite mascot names. The other Pitt!

Shout out to the Gorillas
Couple of UMās cuttin it up!

Hail to Pitt (State)!
Getting extra years through lawsuits are so much easier than going through the actual process š
The NCAA shouldn't be handing out extra years like candy though. It should be a difficult thing to get
It should be impossible. Just give everyone 5 years. No red shirts, no grey shirts, no exceptions. If you lose 3 years dealing with injuries then sorry about your luck, life just isnāt fair sometimes.
I think you should only get 1 year more if you lose 3 years but that's the small opening that creates this.
In cases similar to him, the record is about 50-50 or less.
Jalen Milroe was the 92nd pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
His 4 year contract is worth a total of 6.26 million.
Chambliss would easily get at least the same 5mil Sorsby got for one year.
This is why he wants another year.
Crazy some of these dudes are taking a paycut to go to the NFL. Even crazier to think back on if this system had always been in place. Tebow was worth $5mil/year for at least 3 years. Johnny Manziel might have gotten more in a year at A&M than he earned in his whole NFL career.

Only certain positions make the big bucks. RBs are seen as disposable in the NFL

The guys not yet in the league are not the union's members so the union agrees for them to be under paid for the first 4 years of their career.

He's talking about rookie contracts. Even Kamara signed a 5/75 as soon as he was eligible for an extension.
Any good player is extremely underpaid on their rookie contract.
The Jamarcus Russell legacy
More like the Sam Bradford Legacy. He made such a crapton of money on his bloated 1st overall contract before even showing he could be the QB of the future or get the Rams to the playoffs.
Cam Newton and Andrew Luck would have gotten a huge bag bigger than even many veteran QBs before taking a snap if the NFL had the rookie wage scale not changed.

QB is the one position that is most true of too
I wondered if this was the case with seeing how emotional he was last night. Not that it would be weird for him to be emotional after the loss, but you could tell it was hitting him really hard and it just made me think he thought his college career was truly over.
Lawsuit in 3...2...1
Is a court gonna look at a guy playing in college for six years, when a typical undergrad maxes out at four, and asking for another year gonna go š¤Ø
Carson Beck been playing for 7 lol
The NCAA already doesn't do consistency or fairness.
That's Dr. Beck to you. He didn't go to college for 7 years for nothing.
Fowler said that last night but I think itās only 6, he was in Georgiaās 2020 class I believe. He got a Covid year and then a normal redshirt
Yep, looked it up today because Fowlerās statement sounded crazy.
Heās just 23, just a year older than most college grads. Nothing too terribly out of the ordinary given the COVID year messed things up for a while.
beck is younger than chambliss and is on his 6th year, which is not outrageous by any means given the covid extra year deal
Just go to the NFL. You're more than ready for it
Is he? Miami shouldāve had at least 3-4 interceptions from him last night if they didnāt have butter hands.
Jaxson Dart turned the ball over three times in the final 1:40 against us in 2024, and he's turned out really well.
From a college QB perspective I was way more scared of Chambilss than Dart. Chambliss was amazing this year
Omfg I remember that game, I was cracking tf up
Clearly his mentals are high enough that he used telekinetic influence to make them drop it.
Underrated NFL QB skill imo, not enough programs developing their QBs for it.
Yeah that's 1 game of data. Chambliss has looked NFL ready before the playoffs even started.
Most of his major NFL hype also came from 1 game of data tbf. Before Georgia he was viewed as a 4th round pick. Not until after that game did people start to discuss him as a top 50 pick.
Absolutely nothing wrong with being a 4th round draft pick lol
Miamis defense is great
I think Chamblisse has definitely shown enough to at least get drafted day 2, and heās honestly probably QB3 overall, at worst 4.
I saw that too, but if OM kicker makes that midgame fieldgoal then they are kicking the winning fg at the end of the game instead of throwing that hail mary.
If Miami made their FG the situation would be the same as the one that played out. Stupid hypothetical
if Miami's kicker does too then they're back to not
and if the OM kicker did and the Miami kicker didn't, then chances are Miami is also playing defense slightly differently knowing they have to defend the 35 and not the end zone
With how college football is nowadays the NFL would be a paycut for him
For one year (big time maybe here too, more below) and in that year he could easily fall down draft boards simply by being one year older and not progressing significantly.
Poor QB class + finished the season hot = Day 2 pick, likely R2.

The kid should strike while the iron is hot because the opportunity cost is massive long term, both financially and for his career potential.
they also get a retirement pension if they play more than 3 years which as a highly drafted qb is basically guaranteed.
Honestly? It sucks for him, could have made a lot more money quickly in college, but his draft stock might also never be higher. He's draftable at this point which could be best in his long term interests.

Edit: from Pete Thamel, āThe documents provided by Ole Miss and the studentās prior school include a physicianās note from a December 2022 visit, which stated the student-athlete was ādoing very wellā since he was seen in August 2022. Additionally, the student-athleteās prior school indicated it had no documentation on medical treatment, injury reports or medical conditions.ā
This just seems like an attempt to get another redshirt when he wasnāt gonna play
Statement from Tom Mars, Chamblissā attorney: āI assume that Ole Miss will file an appeal with the NCAA. That said, there is now an opportunity to move this case to a level playing field where Trinidadās rights will be determined by the Mississippi judiciary instead of some bureaucrats in Indianapolis who couldnāt care less about the law or doing the right thing.ā
Now it will be decided by a judge who graduated from Miss st. Appeal denied .
The law school is attached to Ole Miss so it'll likely be an Ole Miss alumni in some capacity
Mississippi College: Am I a joke to you?
Ever since they changed their name, yes.
Honestly yes, one of the worst law schools in the country.
Yeah, kinda.
Does Tom Mars represent everyone except UWās QB
Pete Golding should just tell him to go to the nfl and get his money.
I would imagine Pete very much so wants him back
Golding needs Chambliss badly for next year
Dude is more than ready for the NFL, he definitely looked the part.
People keep saying this. Am I missing something? If Miami's DB's could catch he would've thrown 5 picks lol.
Trinidad did go super saiyan mode against UGA tho.
Yeah but in a way that works in college and would just be 15 yard sacks in the NFL
Its legitimately what Shedeur did last year but basically couldn't ever do this year
The scramble around and finally find someone open works when you're in college, it almost never works in the NFL
Unless youāre Mahomes or Rodgers (before became Medicare eligible).
Or Caleb Williams in the 4th quarter
Georgia makes those 2 sacks on 99.99% of other college QBs
And while he did keep Ole Miss in the Miami game when Lacey got banged up. The nearly thrown picks is an issue, but he was moving the ball in the 2nd half.
Someone will take the risk knowing he has huge upside.
All from insane scrambles and broken plays. Not gonna fly in the nfl
Simple, just play against the Jets. No picks.
Miami Dolphin confirmed
"That's why they play defense" - Every Dad ever
Youāre missing the other 13 games he played
Yeah not sure why he wants to go back unless thereās something Iām missing besides money. He seems like he would be NFL ready but probably not a high round pick
He is likely a day 2-3 pick and he can make almost 4 million at Ole Miss next year.
If Demond Williams is worth $6m then Chambliss is worth a hell of a lot more than $4m.
Try 7 million.
Itās a weak QB class and heās helped his stock a ton in this run. I think his draft position will skyrocket as teams look closer at him.
It's just the money
He pretty much said so
It's that second part. I'm sure he'd like to see $6 mil in guaranteed money to play another college season AND possibly raise his draft stock higher.
he cannot become 6'3"
his draft stock is capped by his physical size
Ole Miss is apparently giving him 7 million reasons to come back.
Well now I guess that money can get us some defenders.
He'll probably get the injunction
Unpopular opinion: no college player should be allowed to have anything beyond 4 years of eligibility. He would be 24, the age of an NFL player, playing against mostly 18-22 year olds. Thereās something wrong with that picture.
My take is always been they should get 5 years. Redshirt the first year and you'll still have 4. Don't redshirt and if you get a early season-ending injury, then you'll have that extra year. Anything after 5 years - nope
Completely and totally agree with this take. Itās gotta be 5 years no matter what the circumstances are and that would give younger guys an actual chance to play.
There's almost no instance where I think someone should be given a 6th year. At certain point, just accept your bad luck.
Remember when you picked a college, went there for four years, and graduated?
Actually (pushes glasses up nose) the majority of college students do not finish in four. Most data sources estimate that number to be around 40 to 45 percent.
Carson Beck has entered the chat.
Ole Miss fans ā what are the plans?
Long walk off a short pierā¦
Haven't they been linked to Duece Knight pretty strongly?
I was hoping that when the last of the Covid Kids aged out weād be done with the super duper seniors, how naive I was
We've lost the plot. We need to go back to 4 years of eligibility in a 5 year window, no exceptions. This is supposed to be collegiate athletics.
It would be easier to bear if this didnāt come the day after we lost to 7th year QB Carson Beck.
I get it, but Chambliss is older than Beck. Both need to move onĀ
Okay then Pavia shouldnāt have had a 6th year either.
Correct.
Correct, thankfully heās going to the draft anywaysĀ
I mean I think Chambliss should definitely get the one year waiver but Beck didnāt play for his first 3 years one of which was a redshirt and one of which was Covid. This is his third year as a starter and when you have guys in their 6th/7th years of CFB on their 3rd/4th school then itās hard for me to say a guy like Beck is the problem. NCAA needs to grow a pair and just say you get 5 years eligibility no matter who you are or where you go or what happens injury wise. Itās the 40 year old kickers and that TE from Miami who got 9 years of eligibility who are the real problems.
6th year
Iām sorry but 6 years is just too much. You have to let some of the actual Juniors and Seniors play before their career is over.
Good. Get your ass to the NFL, talkin bout some āunfinished businessā, go light up the league
Dude doesnāt want to take the massive pay cut to go be a career backup, and I canāt really blame him.
Feels like he would get drafted day two this year. But I also understand college NIL might be a little better for him
Toddy country - letās hotty
Pretty tough 12 hours for Ole Miss fans. I do like Chambliss. We'll see how this one plays out.
Deuce Knight, come on down.
"Hey, didn't Spencer Rattler play for like Nine years? And what about Bo Nix? Clearly, I can do a sixth year." -- Trinidad Chambliss
Can someone explain to me why he should get an extra year other than because people like watching him play?
Good, we need to end the charade of 6th and 7th year players
Good. These guys have to move on. I hope it holds up in court. I also hope Joey Aguilar and Pavia lose their case.
Good. Iām so sick of it
This guy is undersized playing in a non NFL offense. I donāt seem him being drafted high.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but this (for me) is a bigger issue than NIL or the transfer portal in terms of the talent disparity in CFB. College football should not be littered with 23-25 year olds playing their 5th, 6th, 7th years of football against 17-20 year olds. If nothing else gets fixed, there should very strict parameters around age and number of years played for CFB eligibility, regardless of if medicals etc.
