@ManhattanHell I’ve been on the “Sorsby is good” train since his first trip to Manhattan

He is a quick processor who thrives in an RPO system and has decent arm strength.

That said, to say he’s a Heisman contender is uhhhhhhh

[Ace Edwards @ACEdwards00]

yeah sure lmao, no one has principles in this sport anymore they won’t do that

As a veteran Texas litigator who has fought my fair share of TRO/TI battles, several things to be aware of regarding the temporary injunction order issued to allow Brendan Sorsby to play for Texas Tech this season:

(1) The temporary injunction obtained by Sorsby is valid through the date of trial. So by setting the trial date for after the college football season ends the Lubbock County state district court effectively awards Sorsby ultimate relief; he can play the full season under the TI, excluding only the first two games carved out in the text of the TI order.

(2) In Texas a TI is subject to immediate (“interlocutory”) appeal. The appeal will go to the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo, Texas.

(3) The problem with the appeal is that even an accelerated appeal of the TI order is likely to take at least 9 to 12 months, meaning the college football season will be long over before the Amarillo Court of Appeals affirms or vacates the TI.

(4) The only way the interlocutory appeal of the TI order gets resolved before the college football season ends is if the Amarillo Court of Appeals orders expedited briefings and decides the appeal “on the papers” without oral argument. But even such an expedited appeal is likely to run well into the college football season.

(5) At bottom, as Diego Pavia and now Brendan Sorsby illustrate, these sort of emergency injunctive proceedings are a huge problem for the NCAA: hometown judges (in Texas elected at the county level) err on the side of granting the TI to allow the key player to play for Hometown U, and the college football season is much shorter than the appellate process. So the preliminary ruling on the emergency injunction effectively decides the entire case and, if granted, allows the player to play a full season.

No rules, fine. We’re bringing back Deuce, you can’t stop us

[Ace Edwards @ACEdwards00]

*not a lawyer, not legal advice*
Sure, from a procedure standpoint, Sorsby doesn’t get refunded a year if the injunction failed (irreparable injury)

BUT… do we really think his case would succeed after a full hearing? Because that’s the other BIG element in injunction-granting

NEWS: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

Hey guys, I know this isn’t a typical tweet for me, but I wanted to highlight a lady my wife works with who’s family is going through some really hard times. Her son Johnny (5th grader) was hit by a stray bullet while at home and is in need of some financial help to deal with all of the medical bills associated with his recovery. If you’re able to help out in any way I know it would mean the world to their family. Here’s the gofundme link. I appreciate all of you and love you very much. Thank you for the support. https://t.co/t4j96LYEu4

More extensive look at Big 12 FY25 data, both EADA and available MFRS data (see screenshot tables):

"Actual Athletic Profitability" (Generated Revenue - Tot Expenses):
K-St: $12.6
Iowa St: -$1.8
Ok St: -$5.4
Kansas: -$6.4
Utah: -$7.9
WVU: -$10.7
Texas Tech: -$13.9
UCF: -$26.0
Arizona: -$34.2
Colorado: -$43.3
Houston: -$47.3
Cincy: -$52.6
ASU: -$54.4
** K-St is the only Big12 public school to acheive net "Profitablility" by having the 3rd LOWEST Expenses & receiving NO subsidies (I'm sure they'd love to be dealing with a larger Revenue/budget/Expenses though...)

Total Subsidies (in millions;MFRS):
ASU: $59.7
Cincy: $51.7
Colorado: $43.5
Houston: $41.2
Arizona: $36.8
UCF: $31.2
Texas Tech: $14.8
Utah: $12.6
WVU: $8.1
Kansas: $1.9
Iowa State: $1.8
Ok St: $0.1
K-St: $0.0

Subsidies include:
-Student Fees
-Direct or Indirect Institutional Support
-Any Governmental Support

**Private schools don't make MFRS data public. The MFRS data is more detailed and transparent, but available EADA data is included for all schools as a reference and to get a "ballpark" figure for the private schools to slot them into the leauge data (the recruiting figures for EADA and MFRS are pretty consistent FWIW)

Getting a lot of questions about CFB/PC:

The external beta mentioned earlier is currently live on both Steam (shoutout to @Madden_in_Brasi for spotting it) and EA Desktop

The build size has changed several times, which suggests it’s actively being updated
