"We would have to educate significant others who may have been pregnant during the season, or were gonna have a baby during the season, that you would have to educate them on, you have this baby in the middle of the season, [but] that father has to play good football. It's a day-by-day production business. He has to be ready to perform and go out there and play."
"And why I say that is, you need to let him sleep. He needs to be in another room, detached. You have to explain to the mother like, hey, listen, he ain't waking up for midnight feedings. After the season, he's Full Metal Jacket. You do whatever you want with him, and he can change every diaper; but in the season, he's got to have a different priority."
Joe Judge spoke in court on behalf of Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who is seeking a sixth year of collegiate eligibility after the NCAA denied his waiver. Judge explained that players who become fathers during the season cannot be expected to maintain full parenting involvement while competing, emphasizing football requires day-by-day production and readiness to perform. Judge described instructing significant others to allow the player to sleep in another room and avoid midnight feedings during the season, with full parenting duties deferred until after the season. The comments drew public criticism.
