Charles Bediako has played in the G League for 3 years and then decided he wanted to come back for an extra year. He was basing his argument on earning power.

Chambliss, to my knowledge, has never played in the NFL, Arena football, UFL, etc and is trying to get an extra year of eligibility on the basis of Ferris St messing up his records.

They are not remotely the same situation. It is why Chambliss will win and he will play for OM in 2026.

And I do think we?re about to see an NFL guy do this btw. I fully expect there will be a player that was making 7 figures at [insert school] and he goes to the NFL, gets a chance with a team, plays a preseason game, and gets cut. That guy will sue to come back on the basis of the NCAA limiting his earning potential. That is when this thing will get real interesting. The NCAA got a big win yesterday with Bediako. That was the case they needed to go their way, not the Chambliss case. They fully expect that injunction to be granted.
Don't think anyone said the same. Still don't make Chambliss right. He has been denied 3 times for a reason. They got it right the first 3 times. This is BS too for different reasons.

This is a State board so we don't pull for anything to go well for OM.
