NEW: NCAA President Charlie Baker on Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby's ruling:
"There is no better example of why targeted intervention from Congress is necessary. When you have schools and deep-pocketed supporters willing to look the other way on the glaring integrity threat of betting on your own team - and judges whose rulings effectively strip away our ability to stop them - only Congress can equip the NCAA to apply this common sense rule to everyone fairly and consistently. The Protect College Sports Act would empower the NCAA to enforce rules including the gambling restrictions - it's needed now more than ever."

NEW: Paul Finebaum rips the NCAA for denying Texas Tech’s request for reinstatement of eligibility for Brendan Sorsby⬇️
“...we’re talking about the NCAA, the most hypocritical organization in the history of mankind, coming down on somebody for gambling while they have their own side gambling deals and while gambling is pervasive everywhere.
So, a three-game suspension perhaps. Keeping him out for the whole season is wrong.”
