P
Yet Taulia Tagovailoa burned his redshirt because of a kneel-down to honor his injured-for-the-season brother.
W
He was falling to his knees because of a broken heart. That’s obviously worthy of a medical redshirt.
H
He was calling timeout.
A
First player to not want to go to the NFL at all costs
C
He’s going to be a CFL legend in 10 years when he finally gives up CFB
C
And will probably make more as a college athlete than the salary cap for an entire CFL team. Think he’ll be just fine with that.
O
How do you do, fellow croots?
P
That’s what happens now that being a P4 starter pays more than being a later-round draft pick.
A
With how weak this class is he’d be round 3 at worst
S
He / his camp probably hasn’t been hearing that back from the NFL tbh, fun college player but probably seen as undersized for next level
B
Yeah tbh if his team felt like he was a 2nd rounder he would be gone. It likely is he’s a stretch for the 3rd but likely later. Doesn’t help that the undersized nfl QBs aren’t exactly elite so the trend will go hard the other way
T
He’s 6’1. Sure he’s a little skinny but he can always put on weight. And Jayden Daniels went like 4th overall
S
Jayden was a Heisman winner man lol
E
Hes not saying that chambliss is going 1.04 lol just that the size isnt that big of a deal
A
Not true whatsoever.
T
There’s a guy that puts his studies first.
C
He’s been in college for 6 years
H
Bet he’s learned tons
A
Everyone trying to avoid being drafted by the Jets at all costs
F
I mean we just had Pavia, and he is a worse prospect than Trinidad is.
O
If I were a really good college player I would make a ton of money for four years, go to business school and major in finance if possible, then bail. Use that money to do something else that you’re passionate about. The NFL is so much harder on the body and brain and I’m not sure it would be worth it.
H
Guaranteed $5M minimum in college or risk it in the league? Yup
Q
NCAA is in shambles lol, now you’ll see everyone taking their cases for another year to court
J
NCAA lawyers legitimately walked out of the courtroom before the decision.m was read. They are in *hell* rn
R
It took the judge 20+ minutes to get to the point. I don’t blame them
P
20 mins of diversion to throw the scent off him being an Ole Miss Law School alum 😂
D
Until somebody stops this nonsense, this is the new norm
6
Shambliss was right there, bro
R
Flubbed hard and can’t even flair shame. Tough times.
K
Waiting for the first player to not get drafted then sue to be able to play in the NCAA again.
G
can you blame the ncaa at this point? do they have terrible lawyers or do the courts just hate them
M
The courts have basically decided they have no authority over players
T
Please not Castellanos…. Please not Castellanos…. Please not Castellanos….
T
But Owen Heinecke can’t get another year because of 15 minutes of lacrosse… Broken ass sport
N
Has he tried suing in Mississippi?
R
With the judge being a fan of the school
S
Actually confirmed he’s a fan of the school? I genuinely do not know
A
He’s an Ole miss grad I’m pretty sure. Likely due to the fact there aren’t many law schools in Mississippi. Not speaking from confidence tho
N
Yes. He is an alumn and fan of ole miss. Anybody that’s from around here knew what this ruling would be before it ever started.
C
Whitwell actually signed with Miss. State out of high school, then played at Northwest MS J.C. Not sure why he left State. Then undergrad at Delta State. But he does live in Oxford. That and its an election year for Chancery Judges.
W
its worse the judge got his law degree from ole miss complete clown show
D
How many law schools are in Mississippi? you can’t just exclude every lawyer from a school
S
Literally only two – Ole Miss and the Mississippi College of Law in Jackson, which is barely a law school anyways.
J
Two to be exact. Ole Miss and Mississippi College.
L
He got his law degree from ole miss
S
Gets more busted every week, it feels like.
C
Mmm maybe that changes now? They might not want to go through the whole process of establishing more precedent if they just quietly let him play again.
P
In don’t understand how basically the entire world is in agreement that there be a distinction of U23 and professional, regardless of sport, yet somehow NCAA sports are like “fuck it, let’s have full grown men’s in their mid-20s that aren’t even pursuing degrees play” Like I know I’m old school but modern college football is such shit
M
Reddit has thrown out the 23 year age cutoff non-stop for like a week. There is hardly consensus that it’s the right bright line cutoff
C
Yeah I don’t trunk it’s an age cutoff. I think it’s 5 or 6 years from start of college then cut. Then either exceptions for military who do a contract or religious waivers for those that partake in mission trips. It’s about opportunity though. These guys hanging around fills limited spots for the younger (or guys on different paths) guys who deserve their chance as well. College athletics should not be the end state.
