US EditionNCAA appeals eligibility ruling of Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss
- On March 5, 2026, the NCAA filed a petition with the Mississippi Supreme Court seeking interlocutory review and expedited consideration of the injunction allowing Trinidad Chambliss to play in 2026.
- Chambliss filed his lawsuit on Jan. 16 seeking a medical redshirt, testifying about throat infections and a tonsillectomy, and Judge Robert Whitwell granted an injunction on Feb. 12 after over seven hours at the Calhoun County courthouse in Pittsboro.
- His 2025 season, including a College Football Playoff run, made him one of the top returning players and helped fuel the Rebels' success, finishing eighth in Heisman Trophy voting.
- The NCAA argues the injunction causes irreparable harm to member schools and says expedited review is needed since the case likely won't resolve before the Rebels' first game, while UM would unfairly roster an ineligible player.
- Chambliss is automatically eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft beginning April 23, adding urgency, while his reported return deal exceeds $5 million, a key point raised by his lawyers.
