QB Chambliss 的法律專業人士在密西西比法庭起訴 NCAA

代表奧勒·奧米特四分特立尼達·錢布利斯的法律專業人士周五逮捕NCAA，要求密西西比州拉斐特縣衡平法庭審理案件，要求衛發布預案和叛亂永久證據，以便允許他為軍隊再打一個賽季。

1月9日，NCAA拒絕了錢布利斯第六次一年的資格，裁定Ole Omit官員和錢布利斯沒有提供由主治醫生提供的充分科學證據來證實他曾經歷過一種疾病的困擾。 “incapacitating injury or illness,” 這是批准必需所必需的。

錢布利斯聲稱，2022年，他在費里斯泰爾二級聯賽（Division II Ferris Tell）讀二年級時就患上了慢性呼吸系統疾病，這就是他那個賽季沒有參加比賽的原因。

“In Trinidad’s case, the NCAA failed in its mission to foster his well-being and development as a student-athlete,” 訴訟稱。 “The mechanisms (i.e., waiver rules) for granting Trinidad an additional year of eligibility — so that he has the opportunity to compete in four years of college football — are available and within the NCAA’s control.

“儘管特立尼達負有良好的誠信和良好的交易責任，但NCAA堅持在一個孤立的、而不是完整的系統中思考特立尼達案件中的證據；破譯原則，以強加現在未包含其中的必要產品；採取不合理的立場（如果現在不是不合理的）；並在其選擇和裁決中表現出任何反复無常的製度。”

Ole Miss officials also filed an appeal with the NCAA.

In the lawsuit, Chambliss’ attorneys, Tom Mars and William Liston, argue that the NCAA is guilty of a bad faith breach of contract with Ole Miss, of which Chambliss claims he is a beneficiary.

Liston is also the founder and general counsel for The Grove Collective, the collective for Ole Miss athletes.

Mars previously told ESPN that Ole Miss officials provided 91 pages of medical records to the NCAA.

In a supporting letter, Chambliss’ doctor wrote that he suffered “反复感染、睡眠質量不佳、睡眠疲勞以及相關的氣道不適” throughout the 2022-23 academic year.

In an exhibit attached to the lawsuit, Brett Knight, Ferris State’s assistant athletic director for sports medicine, wrote that Chambliss’ “急性和體力疾病的混合阻礙了在體育活動中持續訓練與體重、體能訓練和足球相結合的能力。”

Ferris State coach Tony Annese wrote in a statement that Chambliss was suffering from post-COVID-19 complications that included “心驚膽戰。”

“而且，他曾患有動力性扁桃體炎和腺樣體炎，嚴重影響了他的呼吸、睡眠和身體健康，” Annese wrote.

Chambliss has already signed to play for the Rebels in 2026. His deal, including incentives, might be worth as much as $6 million, according to sources.

The case differs in that most lawsuits filed by players wanting an additional year of eligibility have been filed in federal courts and allege the NCAA violated federal antitrust laws.

“我們現在不熱衷於任何NCAA原則的合法性，” Mars told ESPN on Friday. “對於格式化者，我們要求遵循 NCAA 內部保護的要求，按照事件的整體情況使用它們，而不是忽略特定證據，遺漏其他證據，以及對 NCAA 已不再使用的語言進行武斷和嚴酷的解釋來製造基礎。 ”

在本賽季第三場比賽中替換損壞的奧斯汀·西蒙斯後，錢布利斯傳出3937碼和22次達陣，促成第六號叛軍進入CFP半武裝，但在1月8日的Vrbo嘉年華碗比賽中，他們以31-27輸出給第十號熱火隊。

錢布利斯還跑出了527碼，排名第八，幫助他在海斯曼杯投票中暫居第八。他曾被評為SEC年度新人。
