What wild 24 hours. Here are 3⃣ misconceptions/misinformation I'm seeing regarding the Brendan Sorsby case:
1. He bet on games he played in.
He did NOT bet on any games he suited up for.
While not great he bet on games while redshirting, he never bet on a game he suit up in.
2. The Judge in this case is from Lubbock.
Ken Curry is a retired Tarrant County (Fort Worth) judge that graduated from Houston and UT-Arlington. He is currently eligible to practice law and his practice is listed in Colleyville, TX (over 300 miles from Lubbock).
3. Texas Tech did something wrong.
He made all of his bets before taking a snap at Texas Tech. Cincinnati was alerted to his potential gambling activity (per ESPN).
Texas Tech declared him ineligible and will now follow the temporary injunction (like the rest of the NCAA).
In the last three years, Texas Tech, more than anyone else in the country, has taken full advantage of the current rules.
They did it again with Sorsby.
Texas Tech isn't breaking CFB, they are just navigating the system better than you.

@Doc_Texas But what specifically did Tech do? If Cam Coleman bet at Auburn as a redshirt and didn’t play in the games he bet on. Do you think Texas would have handled this any differently?
@Jon__Reed I agree and understand why people would be mad but I don’t think Tech handled this situation any differently than any other program would have.
@Smokin_Chases@Jon__Reed Keep moving the goal posts Jon but what you originally said was inaccurate. The judge does not reside in Lubbock and isn’t a Tech grad. They held the case in Lubbock court house, don’t understand how that makes a difference to you.
(Dipshit)
@Jon__Reed I’m pointing out the inaccuracy in your first statement. The Judge wasn’t affiliated with Tech at all. So it wasn’t a Tech Judge that led to “one of the darkest things we have seen in sports”
So my original comment proves that you are wrong. Where did I lose you?
