Trinidad Chambliss is planning on suing the NCAA in state court in Mississippi in an effort to get the Ole Miss quarterback the sixth year of eligibility that he’s been trying to secure.
The college QB’s lawyer, Tom Mars, told ESPN’s Pete Thamel that he would be working with Mississippi trial lawyer William Liston to prepare a “complaint for a Preliminary and Permanent Injunction on behalf of Trinidad Chambliss.”
“We expect the lawsuit to be far more detailed and documented than other eligibility lawsuits that have been filed in the past year,” Mars told ESPN. “Therefore, considerable work needs to be done before we’ll be prepared to seek an injunction that would allow Trinidad to play next season. Unless the NCAA appeals committee overturns the denial of the waiver before then, we currently anticipate filing the lawsuit in Mississippi state court toward the end of the week. In the meantime, we won’t have any further comment.”
