Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss’ NCAA appeal denied, but legal fight continues

Mississippi quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has been denied an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA, according to an announcement from Ole Miss. Chambliss, who has played three years of college football due to medical issues, had initially been denied a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA on January 9. An appeal to the NCAA’s Athletics Eligibility Subcommittee was also unsuccessful. Ole Miss criticized the NCAA's decision as "indefensible," highlighting Chambliss's limited playing time due to medical constraints and his successful stint at Ferris State, where he contributed to a national championship. Chambliss has since taken the matter to state court, seeking legal recourse. During his time at Ole Miss, Chambliss completed 294 of 445 passes for 3,937 yards, leading the team to a record-setting 13-win season and a College Football Playoff appearance.
