If Iām being honest Iām not sure Chandler starts if he stays either. But that could be really messy for team chemistryā¦

Yea I mean from his POV you might as well try. Iām not optimistic about his chances though. I think Chambliss had more of a legit medical thing and didnāt play any games, Morris played multiple

Yeah kind of figured that would be the case. And can you blame them? Just seems like it could be a tricky line to walkā¦

- I donāt think this is gonna work for Chandler
- I donāt think heās going to play for us if it does
- Itās sort of an optics/locker room/functional nightmare for us that this is dragging out like this, but I donāt blame him.
- I hope everyone behind the scenes is communicating with each other clearly about the potential outcomes from this. I expect they are, but I hope itās just us who are kind of confused, not anyone more personally affected.

That seems like the way easier lawsuit of the 2 if he wins the first.
Someone is going to try to legally break the new portaling date rules this spring, might as well be Chandler.
You can bet Pribula will try to if Chandler does come back.

Iād imagine his attorney will put in some verbiage to allow him transfer if approved.

Yeah I think Clem.
Agree, not sure why people find that so hard to accept. According to Mikeysurf that is the plan, and Pribulla is/was aware this was a possibility, not to mention his legal team has a lot of UVA ties.
Ok, so I get that Morris never entered the portal, but help me understand this scenario:
If Morris wins his lawsuit, then where is the money to pay him coming from? Did UVa earmark part of its House/NIL money as a ājust-in-case-Chandler-wins-a-longshot-lawsuit-fundā? If so, thatās malpractice. Is there a mystery booster who has $1-$1.5 million that he or she is holding onto and will only donate if Chandler Morris wins his lawsuit? If so, thatās kind of weird.
Thatās the part of this I donāt understand. I get why Morris wants to get another year of eligibility because at the NFL level his best case scenario is to be a training camp invitee. But Virginia constructed its roster and spent its player budget under the assumption that Morris is gone. If heās suing for another year, then he must be looking to play elsewhere, right?

O
2 things. Below is Mikeyās answer on where th money may come from. Plenty of non rev share options. Also, UVA released jersey numbers yesterday, go look at the roster and see what offensive number is not yet allocatedā¦.
==============================
Money doesnāt seem to be a concern. UVA hasnāt made a big deal about it, but Athletics has raised over $120M for NIL/rev share/scholarships/endowned funds for Olympic sports and money is still coming in.

And here we are worried about following up a really good first year with Ryan Odom and going back to being poor. Iām not worried about money at all. Future is bright in both revenue sports
