A Facebook post tied a Millsaps College football victory to praise for a judge in Baton Rouge and Attorney General Liz Murrill while alleging a Mississippi judge granted a quarterback an extra year of eligibility. The post said “Our QB” is a sophomore who led Millsaps to a 36-20 victory over Belhaven in the Riverside Rumble in Jackson.
The post called Murrill a “true professional,” and credited the unnamed judge in Baton Rouge with having something in common with the author. It also accused an Ole Miss alumnus judge in Mississippi of granting a quarterback a sixth year of eligibility after tonsil surgery, saying the decision went against NCAA orders. Those assertions were made in the social media post and have not been independently confirmed here.
Millsaps College is a private liberal arts college in Jackson, Mississippi, and Belhaven University also fields intercollegiate football in the city. The social media message mixed a game report with commentary about state officials and a court ruling.
