There is no point in competing if there is even a hint that a player is throwing a game or performance. Itâs the universal truth in every sport in the world. If we donât have that we have nothing. Donât need to be a judge to know that.
So let me get this TT situation right.
-A retired judge made the ruling in a Lubbock county court.
-If appealed it will go before 4 court justices who have all have graduated from TT.
-The CFB playoff isn't likely to ban TT from the playoff on account that the TT President is on the committee.
-If the member schools/Big 12 try to enforce a new bylaw ruling, or if teams decide not to play them, then TT and Texas AG Ken Paxton will pursue legal action.
-Cody Campbell has donated over 6 figures to Ken Paxton's election campaign.
-Ken Paxton has been impeached for bribery, obstruction of justice and abuse of office. On top of countless accusations of fraud.
Feels like Cody Campbell has everyone in his back pocket. It just all seems a little to coincidental for my liking.
Donât let todayâs PR stunt fool you.
âWe are not a party to Brendanâs lawsuit. We did not file it. We did not fund it.â
Right. Because the suit is about the player. His to file.
But Tech DID appeal the NCAA to reinstate his eligibility.
Working their own channels. Hypocrisy.đ
This is absolute crap.
He "sought help" after he got caught, in furtherance of manufacturing a legal defense to avoid consequences.
Abusing recovery narrative like this is a slap in the face to those out there truly suffering from addiction and struggling to better themselves.
Taking seriously, for a moment, the idea that Sorsby's gambling was symptomatic of an addiction and not simply poor judgment:
The absolute worst thing you can do to an addict is eliminate the natural consequences of their actions. Enablers do not aid recovery - they prevent it.
How many times can this false equivalency be made?
I wouldn't go to the NCAA seeking punishment for murder.
I also wouldn't go to the police for a flag on pass interference.
One is meant to govern one thing.
One for the other.
Texas Tech's defense of Sorsby is turning into a PR nightmare, and they deserve it.
McGuire: It's not like he killed anybody...
Campbell: It's not like he beat a woman... They're just scared!
Hocutt: This recovering addict needs to continue to play football.
