Virginia QB Chandler Morris denied a seventh year of eligibility

It would have been a laughable idea in the not-so-distant past for a college athlete to get six seasons of eligibility.

Seven? That would have been unheard of, but that’s not the world we live in anymore.

Players seem to be finding eligibility loopholes and now that they have NIL deals and agents, they haven’t been afraid to sue the NCAA to see how far they can push those boundaries.

As of late February, 57 eligibility lawsuits had been filed against the NCAA.

Recently, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss won a lawsuit against the NCAA that granted him a sixth season of eligibility. That was a big deal for both him and Ole Miss, and it was a ruling that could impact college football moving forward.

Virginia Cavaliers quarterback Chandler Morris tried to go for seven, though, which would have broken the mold for the way things are supposed to go.

His preliminary injunction against the NCAA was denied on Thursday. He will not be able to play college football in 2026. Keep in mind, he was a recruit out of the class of 2020.
