Overview
- Ole Miss submitted a third, four-page filing Wednesday drafted by attorney Tom Mars that challenges the NCAA’s assessment of the medical evidence and signals potential review in a Mississippi court.
- No decision has been issued, and the Division I Academic Eligibility Committee is scheduled for two days of in-person meetings next week during the NCAA convention near Washington, D.C.
- The case file includes a 91-page December submission with records from ENT specialist Dr. Anthony Howard diagnosing enlarged tonsils and related illness that limited Chambliss in 2022, while NCAA staff have cited a lack of contemporaneous documentation.
- Chambliss has re-signed an NIL agreement with Ole Miss contingent on the waiver, which Yahoo Sports reported is valued at more than $5 million.
- Chambliss said he is “a little frustrated” with the process but focused on Thursday’s CFP semifinal against Miami, and LSU coach Lane Kiffin initiated Mars’s involvement after leaving Ole Miss.
