00:00To see Trinidad Chambliss win his eligibility case against the National Communist Association of America just is absolutely awesome for
00:10me.
00:11So Trinidad Chambliss is going to get his medical hardship and play a sixth year at Ole Miss.
00:15Here's a kid that's going to be in a conversation for the Heisman Trophy and also put Ole Miss in
00:20a position to potentially win the Southeastern Conference and get his college team again into the 12-team tournament.
00:27I so love this Mississippi State Supreme Court has denied the NCAA's appeal against Trinidad Chambliss preliminary injunction Chambliss remains
00:36eligible for the upcoming 2026 season kudos to this watching this organization go after players and their eligibility has been
00:47one of the worst things possible in all of college sports.
00:51I love the fact that these kids get a chance to continue their play and not their education.
00:58Will you stop with this?
00:59This is not about education any longer.
01:03This is now professional sports.
01:05And the reason why this means a lot to me, I had the NCAA take my final year of eligibility
01:11away from me because I was trying to graduate and get a college degree.
01:16They held one year against me in one of my transfers and said that I had used my clock up,
01:21which became the only kid in the history of the NCAA to ever have nine credits become full-time.
01:29You got it.
01:30You're looking at them.
01:31Nowhere on the planet to this day is nine credits a full-time student.
01:36But because the NCAA back in the day can manipulate rules any way they saw fit, this is exactly what's
01:44happening to them now.
01:45The best time and the best thing that could happen to college sports is that this thing gets burned down
01:52to the ground.
01:53They have been an absolute train wreck for decades and decades and decades when it comes to governing the student
02:01athlete.
02:02Everybody else has benefited, whether it's ADs, whether it's coaches and institutions, the money that they've generated for generations and
02:12for getting the player and putting all the heat and all the weight of how sports is made in college
02:18football and basketball on the player where they get no benefits.
02:22I love the fact that these kids are now starting to get paid for their nil.
02:27I love the fact that these kids get money.
02:29Let me hook you up with something here.
02:31Are you under the impression I didn't take money in college?
02:36If you go to my X account, maybe we'll do this a little bit later on, too, when it comes
02:41to final thoughts here.
02:42But, hey, are you under the impression I didn't take money and I didn't get a Corvette when I was
02:48at the University of Miami and that an alumni guy gave me that or gave me a place to live?
02:55Are you under the impression that all of a sudden now, are you under the impression that all of a
02:59sudden now we're looking at something that didn't happen then?
03:03You know what nil means?
03:04Now it's legal.
03:06In the past, it wasn't.
03:08I can't tell you how many kids I know and how many people I know that took money from agents,
03:18boosters, what have you.
03:19I sold my tickets for $1,000 a piece when it came to having an opportunity to make an extra
03:29money when I was at the U.
03:30Are you under the impression that people didn't make money now, again, that it's legal?
03:38Are you under the impression that people at Oklahoma or Ohio State weren't taking money or that Eric Dickerson wasn't
03:47taking money?
03:48I mean, folks, you have just looked at college sports and you have thought of it as being amateur sports.
03:57I'll say it one more time to you.
03:58Now it's legal, and this is great to see the NCAA getting their ass kicked.
04:03You have coaches making $14 million to $15 million a year, and you have ADs making $4 million.
04:11Now you get kids with an opportunity to make a boatload of money in college sports.
04:16Kudos to them, man.
04:17I'm a big fan of it, and one of the things that I got into broadcasting over was the ability
04:23to be able to make money off your name and likeness.
04:27Folks, if you think what I just got through telling you is some sort of epiphany and that this wasn't
04:33going on in college sports, I've never had a problem saying this.
04:37And nor has anybody else ever had a problem coming out and saying what happened 45 years ago.
04:44I mean, at the end of the day, remember, now it's legal.
04:48And to see Trinidad Chambliss, having the ability to be a Heisman Trophy candidate, to make $5 or $6 million,
04:55kudos to him, kudos to his team, and I look forward to watching him play in the Southeastern Conference this
05:01year.
05:02I can't wait to see what that kid does, and I'm looking forward to it, and I'm going to be
05:07rooting for him.
05:08Without a doubt, I look forward to seeing how this thing plays out and watching the NCAA right here getting
05:15their tails kicked.
05:16Chambliss is eligible to play in 2026.
05:20Kudos to you, kid.
