Everyone I’ve talked to who knows Brendan Sorsby speaks highly of him as a guy you’d want as the face of your program. I have friends who’ve gone down some dark holes from gambling too, and I know how easy it is. I’m sympathetic to all of it. But if the NCAA can’t police gambling on your own school… we’re done here. There’s no chance any rules will ever matter if there’s a friendly local judge or enough $$ at stake.

What exactly is "inequitable" about an athlete being held accountable for dismantling the integrity of his sport?

[Darren Heitner @heitner]

Big loss for the NCAA in the Sorsby case. The NCAA will continue to lose cases when it acts arbitrarily and capriciously. This isn’t an antitrust case. It’s based on breach of contract, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, and breach of fiduciary duty. An antitrust exemption won’t excuse the NCAA from the inequitable treatment of athletes.

[Kevin Clark @bykevinclark]

As disastrous a ruling as there has ever been in modern sports. The pathway is now clear: gamble as much as you like, including on your own team and hope you are--or get--good enough that you can lawyer up down the line. A much bigger disaster than anything with NIL or portal.

The jokes write themselves. Did they include their number of draft picks from the team on it?

After 4.5 years at Sports Illustrated, I was informed this morning that I am being laid off. Would love to continue writing about what I'm most passionate about - college athletics. But truth be told, I'm open to anything.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@malquiza8 Think you have to be excited to get that upside in the middle of the draft even if he isn’t my favorite prospect.

BREAKING: Trump purchased up to a $1 million worth of Nvidia, $NVDA, stock on January 6, 2026.

This is a week before the Commerce Department officially approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China.

We’re deep diving the state of Hokies MBB on tonight’s episode of Hokie Hoops.

Tune in for a big-picture discussion about this past season, the NIT situation, roster construction, our staff’s challenges in the NIL era, and, of course, future expectations.

Why should ordinary Americans care about the Epstein Class? I explain that the reason life has gotten so hard is because our government is beholden to people who write the rules for their own benefit.

President Trump, who is in the midst of pressuring senators to curb the use of mail-in voting, voted by mail ballot in Tuesday’s special election in Palm Beach County, Florida.
