@DaBruiser5 @JimCowboyHester We'll see what happens. I don't think this is over. I think it's fair to keep in mind that he should have never ended up at Tech in the first place. If the NCAA were to have handled the situation appropriately at Cincinnati this problem would be handled. They created this mess.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

My thoughts on why this is an NCAA problem and why the vitriol is being misdirected.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@DaBruiser5 @JimCowboyHester I completely get your frustration. What happened to Noah Shannon was incredibly harsh, and it makes total sense why Iowa fans look at this and feel like the system is broken. It is. That was the only point I was trying to make.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@DaBruiser5 @JimCowboyHester Tech's only obligation is to treat him like any other eligible player. I'm not arguing that he should play. My original statement was that the vitriol is being misdirected towards Tech. The only reason this situation exists is because the NCAA has almost zero governance power.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@DaBruiser5 @JimCowboyHester I never said they had to play him. If Joey McGuire wants to bench him for football reasons, he can. But Tech can't block him from practicing or playing strictly to please the NCAA without being in contempt of court.
This isn't an eligibility decision, the court handled that.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@SWStrawn54 He stepped down. Also, I don't even fully agree with the injunction. But to make Texas Tech Public Enemy #1 is ridiculous. This whole ordeal is what happens when a governing body has no real authority, which was my original point.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@BamaTorch1992 Look, I don't even fully agree with the injunction. I'm just stating that this issue goes far beyond Tech's role in it.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@SWStrawn54 Remind me, what did Urban do when his star recruiter was throwing his wife against walls? Oh right, he kept him on staff, lied about it to the press, and tried to scrub his phone text history.

But please, keep lecturing Texas Tech about the "sanctity of the sport" The irony.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@BamaTorch1992 Alabama took full advantage of a legal injunction when it benefited them, and the athletic department explicitly stated they were "disappointed" when a higher court finally shut it down in February.

Tech isn't doing anything Bama didn't do.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@SWStrawn54 I love getting ethical lectures from Baylor fans. Truly. Please tell me more about how Texas Tech following a legal injunction from a state judge is a "moral failing," while your entire athletic department’s history is a textbook case on how to look the other way.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@Laughatthem123 I don’t even fully agree with the injunction. Turning Texas Tech into Public Enemy #1 makes zero sense logically or chronologically. You can hate the gambling, and you can disagree with the judge's ruling. But blaming Texas Tech for a lawsuit they didn't file, is just lazy.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@JimCowboyHester If Tech dismissed a cleared, contract player strictly to enforce an NCAA ruling that a judge just declared an abuse of power, they would be opening themselves up to a massive, immediate breach-of-contract lawsuit from Sorsby's legal team.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@BamaTorch1992 The injunction has very little to do with whether a gambling rule exists, and everything to do with admin overreach and the legal rights of a person. Tech doesn't run the legal system. A judge ruled that a private association cannot enforce archaic, zero-tolerance lifetime bans.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@DeaceOnline I don't even agree with the injunction. A judge mandating medical rehab and a 2-game suspension instead of a lifetime ban isn't a "moral failure"—it’s legal due process. If understanding how the U.S. court system works makes me a "sports bro," I'll take it. Have a good one.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@JimCowboyHester Federal and state court orders overrule NCAA bylaws. Period.

When a judge issues a legally binding injunction, a public university is legally obligated to follow the court's ruling, not the NCAA's rulebook.

[Tanner Rex @TannerRex]

@BamaTorch1992 The ruling isn’t about evading rules, it’s about the NCAA violating its own bylaws. The court forced a proportional, restorative penalty over a lifetime ban. Public schools can’t legally back private player lawsuits. Tech just happens to be the team he signed before any ruling.
