What if Cole Hutson asked to be released from NFL teams during mini camps so that the very next day he could file a TRO to get an injunction so that he could go back to Texas?
What if that was in July?
I ask… who started what?
Everyone is quick to blame Lane Kiffin for this Class of 2022 eligibility mess! Need I remind you... Lane is simply borrowing a page from the @OleMiss playbook: When a @NCAA or @SEC rule does not benefit, just find a local sympathetic judge to issue a TRO. He copied the "Trinidad Chambliss" playbook!
"We at @OleMiss, we're going to follow the SEC rules. And when we those rules don't benefit us--we will get a local sympathetic judge to issue a TRO--just like we did in the case of Trinidad Chambliss. the @SEC rules prohibit a player from having a 6th year of eligibility--but we desperately need Trinidad in order to have a decent season--so our only recourse was to file suit".
“BY RULE” (@SEC Rule) Trinidad is ineligible. “BY RULE”, Trinidad should be in the NFL. The SEC and NCAA does not allow “BY RULE” an athlete to have a 6th year of eligibility. So, what does @OleMissFB do? They find a sympathetic Mississippi judge and instruct Trinidad to file suit. Sympathetic judge rules in favor of Trinidad and issues a TRO. Trinidad gets to play.
Here’s how the conversation went: “Hey Trinidad, you’re out of eligibility and your only option is to go pro. But, we (Ole Miss) have an offer you can’t refuse…
1. We will get a local, sympathetic judge to issue a TRO to order the NCAA to give you a 6th year of eligibility, and
2. We will pay you $6 Million!
There’s only 7 NFL rookies in this year’s draft that are making more than Trinidad. Financially, that’s a win for Trinidad.
On the contrary, LSU is signing a player who played just 4 years and he also had NO eligibility remaining. So, he entered an NFL training camp and earned $30,000. While he was there, the NCAA granted him a 5th year of eligibility. He was cut from the Cleveland Browns after the second preseason game. He wasn’t even good enough to make the Browns roster!
And yet, everyone has their panties in a wad!
Trinidad Chambliss will be entering his 4th year playing snaps. Had a redshirt and argued in court for his medical redshirt. Pretty common when you look around at different rosters in college.
In comparison, DaeQuan Wright has played 4 seasons of ball, and signed a pro contract.
When Tyler and his family discovered or learned that he was a suspect, they decided that it would be best to turn himself in voluntarily before the authorities would storm his residence and put his life in immediate danger (like a hostage situation, or worse). Turning himself in is NOT an admission of guilt.
In the closing arguments on Robinson charges, the defense just stated something that many of us have missed or overlooked: "NO ONE was standing behind the tent". 🤔 Is that just a coincidence? Or, were people aware that standing behind the tent could be "dangerous"?
@BeatinTheBookie He’s the preseason sack leader because NFL starters DO NOT play in preseason games. Also, if he was a legit NFL linebacker at this point—he wouldn’t have been cut and even if he was cut—he would have been claimed on waivers.
@DemCowboys27 You’re STUPID. This guy left college football because he had NO eligibility remaining. Then, while at NFL training camp—a federal judge ruled that Class of 2022 players should be granted a 5th year of eligibility. This is the NCAA’s fault!
@Rach4Patriarchy You’re STUPID. The defense is not allowed to present evidence until the trial. But, the investigators should have done a better job of investigating this.
@crimsonvad3r@GregSankey It doesn’t matter who the SEC commissioner is. Nearly 50 different judges across 26+ states agree that these players were “wronged” by the NCAA’s untimely rule change. This is done deal.
