Boy, what a tough blow for Petey.
Yes they are.
There won't be a risk when he gets the injunction. The language will say that the NCAA is enjoined from penalizing OM for Chambliss playing under the injunction.
No elected state court judge who is an alumnus of the school is denying that injunction. Especially one who played QB in college and loves football.
Pavia played under an injunction last year and was just fine. Hell Davon Booth played under an injunction too.Quote:

This is precisely what it is. I don't know how anyone that follows the world of collegiate athletics could even think otherwise.Quote:

You serious Clark? This is the same bunch that tampered with a guy that had a signed NIL, a signed FAA and had already started classes at Clemson for the Spring semester. You think they give a flying flip about an NCAA ruling if they have an option to sue or get an injunction?Quote:

Times have changed, and the toothless NCAA will fold like a wet blanket in this no-rules semi-pro college sports world.
What stops him from playing under one in 2027?Quote:

Absolutely nothing. The NCAA just has to hope he is ready to move on, similar to Pavia.Quote:

Under what basis would they sue the judges personally exactly?Quote:

Why judges can override the NCAA in the first place
The NCAA is a private association, not a government body. That means:
Its eligibility rules are just contractual rules
Players can sue under things like antitrust law, due process, or contract law
If a judge thinks the NCAA rule is unlawful or unfairly applied, they can issue an injunction letting the player compete
Once a court order is issued, the NCAA cannot legally ignore it.
What the NCAA can do to limit this
1. Write clearer, more defensible rules
A lot of eligibility lawsuits succeed because NCAA rules are:
Vague
Applied inconsistently
Changed midstream
The more clear, objective, and consistently enforced the rule is, the harder it is for a judge to poke holes in it.
2. Build stronger internal appeals processes
Judges often step in because athletes argue:
?I had no fair process inside the NCAA.?
If the NCAA provides:
Transparent hearings
Neutral decision-makers
Reasoned written decisions
Courts are more likely to say: ?This is an internal matter?stay out of it.?
3. Use collective bargaining (future-looking)
If athletes are eventually classified as employees (or partially so), eligibility rules could be:
Negotiated via collective bargaining agreements
Much harder for courts to override (like pro sports leagues)
This is a big structural shift, but it?s probably where things are headed.
4. Change enforcement, not eligibility
Instead of fighting eligibility in court, the NCAA can:
Let the athlete play under injunction
Later vacate wins, impose fines, or penalize schools if the NCAA ultimately prevails
They already do this sometimes?quietly.
5. Appeal and wait it out
In many cases:
The NCAA loses a temporary injunction
But later wins on appeal after the season is over
Not satisfying, but legally common.
Hoops' idea of a flat rule of 5 years of play 4 is the way to go. Once you sign a scholarship, your eligibility is out 4 or 5 years from then. No exceptions
5 years to play 4 is what we have right now.Quote:

That's not what we have now. Medical redshirts creat leeway. 5 years to play 4, period. Hurt for 3? Sorry. Unless you take out loopholes, there will be loopholesQuote:

I think our fans are just tired of everything going their way from Kiffin staying there about three seasons longer because his daughter wanted to be around her Ole Miss friends, to the laughably easy schedule which was basically Georgia and 11 other teams, to drawing Tulane who MSU often plays for homecoming as their playoff opponent, and now maybe this.Quote:

The least thing that can happen is the D2 QB that they picked up as an after thought who of course turned into a Heisman contender can actually move on to the NFL after his fifth year in college.
And yeah Kiffin leaving will definitely hurt them but the collateral damage probably won't really show up for at least another year or so.
