You can support an athlete and their recovery while also admitting that they broke a golden rule of sports.
The court ruling said he was still eligible to play, not that Texas Tech couldn’t hold him accountable themselves. That’s the issue here.
The NCAA rule is, basically, “student-athletes and athletic department employees cannot gamble on sports that the NCAA hosts a championship in.”
If I’m caught gambling on sports, I lose my job and career. It shouldn’t be any different in this scenario.

Getting the chance to head the BTN Student U program at Illinois will forever be a highlight of my career. The passion and drive my students showed every day was incredible.

I get the excitement behind this. A 4-seed making Omaha is electric, but most mid-major coaching staffs tend their own field and have limited seating. It’s not that crazy.
Murray St. making it to Omaha is one of the best stories in college sports. This is their stadium it holds 800 people. Their head coach Dan Skirka literally cuts the grass.
Gotta feel good for those guys.
Disney’s favorite thing to do is take a gem of an animated film and turn it into the absolute worst live-action movie of all time by changing literally everything about the original film.
