@Rivals @j8ylen__ @SWiltfong_ @Corey_Bender @ZachAbolverdi @Blake_Alderman Give him all the free stuff, he knows exactly what he’s doing. Fly him, feed him, give him stuff, entertain him. Then he’ll leave and call Joey McGuire and tell him about the stuff he got for free.

@davidfloyd1980 Texas tech would be middle of the pack in revenue earnings if you factor in the difference in media rights distribution between the big 12 and SEC. Just saying.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@justinackermann The last time we saw it Texas Tech thought they would steam roll through the big 12. Oh wait, we did.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@Bearwitness47 No, we’re good. Need a few more big 12 championships and then we’ll see where we go from there.

@JarheadFrog @Techtonicus1 This is very much a TCU take. Belittle people that don’t have the same wealth as you and make fun of people for trying to better themselves with an education.

@chrisgb002000 That’s sarcasm 😆

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@SSN_TAMU Take baseball out 😏

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@TexasDiegs Nah the Mavs Luka PR was much much worse

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@SBInsiderHQ I think this actually goes to show that it was as much about the hate for Texas tech and how we’ve invited ourselves into the club of elite programs with money vs. the hate for the actions themselves 🤔

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@Big12_Parscal @LaneHaley19574 @LifeofFitz So the first time any of those programs had success, do you throw it out. Or do you see if they keep building. Let’s see where we are in 5 years. 4-5 big 12 championships? Maybe a title run? Then what do you think? Yea it’s not built overnight. We’re not trying to be a 1 and done

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@365Aggie I know you long to be us but we ask that you find someone else to obsess over. This move will be hard for you but just know we don’t care.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@chuzztopher Can’t wait to hoist the championship trophy at the end of the year! Cherry on top.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

One thing is for certain, the world found out how large the @TexasTechFB twitter fanbase is. They quickly found a way to monetize repetitive dumb comments despite not knowing any facts about the story. Well done.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@Big12Conference So when are y’all laying down the hammer on Cincinnati? That’s a big statement about a school that never did anything. How about the school that knowingly played him.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@3YearLetterman Yes I hear that but at the same time, he’s not doing this for TTU. This is the same thing he would do for every other Texas funded university. This is the state of Texas sticking up for their own. I’d like to think we’re that special but we’re not.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@THEKingBuckeye Is it though, what exactly has Tech done wrong. The answer can’t be that we are breaking an unwritten rule, because while it may be true, it can’t be enforced. So what exactly can the Big12 enforce if TTU is doing everything technically by the book?

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@PeteNakos @On3 @RossDellenger Hahaha, the NCAA is now pushing for the very thing Cody Campbell has been pushing for the last 2 years. Checkmate.
Can make this stuff up.

[RedRaider0110🌵 @RRaider0110]

@Genetics56 “Cody Campbell is an dumbass”

Tells me everything I need to know about this post.

I understand why people are uncomfortable with the Brendan Sorsby situation. Betting on sports as a college athlete is serious. Betting connected to your own team creates an obvious integrity concern. Nobody has to minimize that.

But there is another side to this that college football people should at least be honest enough to acknowledge.

When a player becomes part of your program, he becomes part of your football family. That does not mean you excuse everything. It does not mean accountability disappears. It means you do not abandon him the second the situation becomes difficult, public, or uncomfortable.

There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake.

Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity.

But now the court has ruled that he is legally allowed to play. That changes the structure of the decision.

If Texas Tech turns its back on him now, what message does that send to every player and family they recruit? That we will fight for you until the pressure gets too loud? That we will call you family when you are producing, but distance ourselves when standing beside you becomes inconvenient?

If I were recruiting against Texas Tech and they abandoned him after he was legally cleared to play, I would use that every time. Not because the mistake does not matter, but because trust matters. Families want to know what happens when their son is injured, struggling, accused, embarrassed, or sitting in the middle of a situation nobody wants attached to the program.

Accountability and loyalty are not opposites.

You can believe justice should be served. You can believe the integrity of the game matters. You can believe gambling violations deserve real consequence. You can also believe that a program should stand by its people through the full process, not just through the easy parts.

That is the hard part of family.

You do not only fight for your people when the optics are clean. You fight for them through the good and the bad, while still demanding accountability, treatment, discipline, and truth.

Texas Tech may not like the position it is in. Most programs would not. But once he is legally allowed to play and remains part of the Red Raider family, abandoning him strictly because of social pressure would send its own message.

And that message may be harder to overcome than the controversy itself.
