“Institutions cannot control court rulings, legal strategies or judicial outcomes,” Mohajir continued. “What we can control is playing time and the standards we set for participation in our programs.”

So we just gonna let this get walked back now so the school facing these allegations can proceed undisturbed with a QB playing under an injunction after the NCAA ruled him ineligible? Come on ppl, those pitchforks must still be handy; aren’t you outraged? … Of course you’re not.

[BJ Symons @BJSymons]

Is Ole Miss really going to cheat and play a QB that the NCAA ruled ineligible but sued in court and had a Mississippi judge issue an injunction to allow him to play?

Unbelievable. Surely the SEC going to sue Ole Miss, right? The internet is going to lose their minds

NEW: Brendan Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, claims Cincinnati knew about the gambling addiction and took no action:

“If anybody should be questioned or catching heat, it should be Cincinnati. Because they knew for two years and never said anything or didn’t do anything about it. That’s the part of the story that gets lost.”

They always hated us. Sorsby was just an excuse to go after Texas Tech.

[Flatland Sports🌵♠️ @flatland_sports]

Drake, respectfully. What the heck are you talking about?
Texas Tech became aware of Sorsby's gambling problem and immediately sent him to rehab and suspended him from the team.
They filed an appeal with the NCAA which was declined and they moved on.

Sorsby on his own, hired Kessler and won an injunction against the NCAA, primarily because of how incompetent the organization is.
Texas Tech did not fund and was not a party to the lawsuit.
Tech did not commit to play him and said repeatedly they're focused on Brendan Sorsby’s health and future.

After assessing the situation for a week (and consulting with their legal team) they (along with Sorsby himself) made a decision to part ways.

I don't know what more you all wanted Texas Tech to do with this.

[Raider Abe Lincoln @RedRaiderAbe]

5 days ago:

“Tech just needs to move on from Sorsby and not kill their reputation!”

*Tech moves on from Sorsby*

“Lmaoooo Tech ruined their reputation all for him to leave”

[big ounce @_bigounce]

All talk but won’t schedule a football game

[Dan Isett 🌵 @DanIsett]

Just a reminder: Texas Tech broke no rules in this situation.

[Flatland Sports🌵♠️ @flatland_sports]

Maybe the Temporary Injunction was the friends we made along the way.

[Taylor Stockton @tStocktonTTU]

Cincinnati better be the next target of the media’s ire after knowingly playing Brendan Sorsby for two full seasons after knowing about his gambling.

[Ben Golan @BenjaminGolan]

“Universities should not field players who have bet on their own team’s games in college athletics”

There’s only one school in this conference that has done so, and that school is not named Texas Tech 🤔

[Coyote Raider 🌵 @CoyoteRaider]

As in the university of Cincinnati, who quite literally did exactly that?????

[Jody S. Laughter∴ @Lubbockist]

The Sorsby stuff has been "taked" to death but here is mine after sitting in it for a few days. Barring a change on the legal side, he will be a member of the team in the fall. That's not up to TTU. If he is on the team, he will likely (per contract) earn his full revenue share/NIL money. TTU has no choice in that matter either.

The only question then for Texas Tech, is if he plays or if he sits on the bench and earns a paycheck.

So what the rest of the country is asking Texas Tech to do, is to pay him to practice, to be on the team, and not play football. This, they say, will protect the integrity of the game.

But what did he do that supposedly compromised the integrity of the game in the first place? He placed bets...from the bench.

So what we're really talking about isn't protecting game integrity in 2026 at all. We're talking about punishment. Punishing Sorsby for 2022.

Punishing Sorsby by paying him $5 million to not play. That's not much of a punishment if you ask me.

When you tear away all the bluster and moralizing, what they are really asking is for Texas Tech - and Texas Tech alone - to be punished.

Not Sorsby, not Indiana where it happened, not Cincinnati who played him after. Texas Tech alone.

The rest of college football would love nothing more, and would be laughing the entire time.

Our program should evaluate his mental and physical fitness, and his compliance with the order put in place. We should make sure that, all else being equal, he is our best option before going out on that field. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.

But we should not let bullying, threats, and emotion (from those who already wished us harm) to have any bearing on that decision whatsoever.

Strip it all away and they are really asking for Texas Tech to be the only party in this scandal to be punished. The only party who, by any objective measure, has done absolutely nothing wrong.

Do that, and the outrage from the peanut gallery will not turn to adulation, or even silence. It will turn to mockery.

[Texas Tech Red Raiders @TechAthletics]

A message to the Texas Tech community from our leadership.

[Taylor Stockton @tStocktonTTU]

Texas Tech declared Brendan Sorsby immediately ineligible & got him into rehab when notified of his gambling.

What did Cincinnati do when they became aware of Brendan Sorsby’s gambling activity?

Cincinnati played Brendan Sorsby for two full seasons.
