@PeteNakos Every single statement out of Texas Tech ignores the plain truth that Tech is under no obligation to have Sorsby participate in the football program as a part of “supporting his recovery.” Tech has agency to remedy the problem today if they want to.
@DerekYoungKSO Every single statement, podcast, tweet, opinion coming out of Tech ignores the simple truth that Texas Tech has agency to remedy the problem by not allowing Sorsby to practice or play. Texas Tech could fix this today if they wanted to.
Great post, and this is part is absolutely spot on!
“There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake.
Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity.”
@scottwildcat@DerekYoungKSO The judge & the injunction don’t matter anymore. What matters is that there are very few entities that can actually prevent a player who broke the law to gamble on his own team from playing. That list starts with Tech itself. Not enough is being done to coerce Tech.
@JacksonBig12@HoldenPSykora@DerekYoungKSO I’m telling you. He’s not going to play. I’m trying to make this as easy to understand as possible. All of college sports will blacklist Tech. There will be nowhere to go. The Big 12 can ban Tech from the CCG. The longer Tech drags it out, the worse things will get for Tech.
@JacksonBig12@HoldenPSykora@DerekYoungKSO The MINIMUM snap count required by the TEMPORARY injunction. What is it? Are you starting to grasp how weak Tech’s position is? Nobody has to vote for Tech in the top 25. Nobody has to vote for Tech for the CFP. Nobody has to schedule Tech in the future. It’s called a blacklist.
@JacksonBig12@HoldenPSykora@DerekYoungKSO “The temporary injunction now requires Tech to play Sorsby on every single snap of the game and that is totally official law” is an incredibly retarded take, my dude.
@JacksonBig12@HoldenPSykora@DerekYoungKSO That’s not in the court order. You’re making it up. That’s a choice. So hey. Have a fun summer. Like I said, Sorsby won’t ever play again. The longer Tech drags this out, the worse it is on Tech. Tech went from lovable rascals to total assholes over this. Congrats I guess.
@JacksonBig12@HoldenPSykora@DerekYoungKSO Texas Tech could cut him tomorrow. The court order impacts the NCAA and nobody else. Throw another excuse at me. Listen. To. Me. It won’t be worth it for Tech to have one QB for one year. This is a line that is not to be crossed in American sports.
@JacksonBig12@HoldenPSykora@DerekYoungKSO If Tech doesn’t deal with the problem, someone else will. You are already seeing schools blacklist Tech. It will get worse. The Big Ten & SEC will likely codify scheduling boycotts. Top 25 voters will refuse to give Tech votes, etc. Get your heads out of your ass.
@JacksonBig12@HoldenPSykora@DerekYoungKSO Make all the bullshit strawman arguments you want, “but what about…” “you’re just jealous…” etc. There is one institution that can stop someone from playing after he broke the law to gamble on his own team and that is Texas Tech….
@JacksonBig12@DerekYoungKSO What was Tech’s payroll in 2024 compared to 2026? They’re a cupcake. Listen, this doesn’t end well for Tech. There is no way sports in general, college sports in particular can let this box be opened. Sorsby won’t play. The longer Tech drags this out, the worse it is for Tech.
@CodyC64 Wow that’s cool. I started calling my Senators and Congressman yesterday morning telling them not to support legislation being pushed by a dipshit bumfuck Texas hypocrite. Shouldn’t be difficult to convince them here in Big Ten country.
@JacksonBig12@DerekYoungKSO The judge took a hard look at a case involving a volleyball coach, totally ignored the cases involving college football players, and decided to suspend someone who broke sports’ most sacred rule for the cupcakes so he’d be available just in time for conference play? Sure.
@JacksonBig12@DerekYoungKSO Every Tech argument is a strawman argument that goes something like “Oh yeah? Well look at this other thing that happened that didn’t involve a player breaking the law to bet on his own team!” The entire problem now is Tech, and that’s all.
@JacksonBig12@tony_pucket@DerekYoungKSO You don’t seem to understand that there is no chance Sorsby will actually be playing this fall. The longer Tech drags this out, the worse it’s going to be for Tech.
@DerekYoungKSO I want badly to believe there are Tech people who are as horrified as we are and aren’t soaking wet with Tech propaganda inside their Tech thought bubble.
