Trinidad Chambliss was asked Monday whether it bothers him when people lump his name in with the eligibility cases at LSU. His answer, via HottyToddy: people are going to say what they want to say, they'll always have a narrative or an opinion about you, but he doesn't give that any mind — the only thing that matters is what he thinks and what his team thinks. That's the right answer for a quarterback four days out. Here's the part he doesn't have to say: these are two different cases and they are not close. Chambliss was enrolled and had signed nothing. He came up from Division II, the NCAA denied his waiver, Tom Mars took it to court, and in February a judge found the association had breached its duty of good faith. The Mississippi Supreme Court refused the appeal in March. Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris are former Ole Miss players who left for the NFL. Wright signed with Philadelphia, was released, signed with Cleveland, then won a court order restoring college eligibility. He began practicing at LSU on Monday. Both situations involve a court order — that is the entire overlap. Then later: Ole Miss hired Jack Borris off Wall Street this week and almost nobody covered it. Eleven-plus years at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, plus a master's in sports administration from Boston College. The job: athlete finance strategy, cap management, revenue share, NIL and roster construction. The honest counterweight: this is the correct move, every serious program is building a front office, and Ole Miss is late rather than early. A front office never wins a game by itself — but it decides which roster Pete Golding gets to coach in 2027. Does a front office make you more comfortable or less? Comments below.
