#BREAKING: The majority of Big 12 teams are boycotting their games against Texas Tech next season due to the Brendan Sorsby ruling, per sources.
I’m told that multiple board members have also motioned to eject the Red Raiders from the league.
The only current holdouts are BYU and UCF.
Hunter Dekkers 👿
• 366 bets
• ~$2,800 wagered
• One bet involving Iowa State football
• Lost entire season, NCAA eligibility, career
Brendan Sorsby 😇
• ~2,900 bets
• ~$90,000 wagered
• 40+ bets involving Indiana football
• Currently eligible after court injunction
Sorsby placed ~8x more bets and wagered ~32x more money than Dekkers…

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:
Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”
Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.
About 1.5% of those get drafted.
Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.
The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”
I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️
