@flatland_sports Fans have lost their ever loving minds because the integrity of collegiate athletics has been shattered into a million pieces thanks to Texas Tech!
NCAA President Charlie Baker was on ESPN radio and he was asked if the NCAA would be able to enforce their rules if a college team decided they wanted to pick up a NFL practice player or a player cut from the NFL.
Baker basically said they wouldn't be able to stop it if a team finds a local judge to rule in their favor.
@TechAthletics You're fooling no one. College football fans didn't just fall off the turnip truck. This isn't altruism. It never was. You just want to win.
@flatland_sports Who cares? Every college football fan who believes Saturday games should be decided on the field, not scripted like WWE. And Texas Tech can't offer that assurance as long as their star QB with a gambling addiction is under center.
@Jeff_Brunson Happy to litigate this. The Dallas County courthouse isn't Lubbock. Ken Paxton and Cody Campbell don't exactly have home-field advantage there. Funny how venue matters. Sorsby's own attorneys proved that.
Yes, please tell us about honor and sending messages Mr. lawyer representing guy who bet on sports.
This whole thing is stupid.
Also, Sorsby isn't nearly good enough to want to keep doing this.
@DanIsett So Texas Tech voluntarily signed Big 12 conference bylaws – a binding legal agreement – and now those bylaws don't apply? Is contract law optional in Texas? Asking for every other university that actually follows the rules they agreed to.
@BryanGoldston@LoewyLawFirm The mental health narrative lasted about three weeks. "I'll take that punishment" is the most honest thing a Texas Tech fan has said since this scandal broke. It was never about the kid. It was always about the championship.
@TomMarsLaw I love all the legal wrangling. But the most powerful thing college fans can do right now: turn the channel. Every. Texas Tech. Game. Tank the ratings, and suddenly the Big 12 has a compelling case that one school's reckless decision financially harmed the entire conference.
The irony of Texas Tech threatening a breach of contact action when that same university breached their employment contract with Mike Leach, never paid him, and then hid behind sovereign immunity to avoid paying out his contract.
