We do have laws and Brenden Sorsby violated the Federal Wire Act by proxy betting across state lines multiple times.
So by your logic, he should be going to jail.
1. He bet on games in which he was a rostered member of the team and had insider knowledge of the program. It's less sinister than betting on games in which he was starting QB, but still a disqualifying decision—particularly after placing thousands of bets
2. Okay, he's not a Texas Tech alum or Lubbock guy, he's a Texas lifer. At any rate, clearly a friendly court for a CFB program in Texas
3. Texas Tech did nothing wrong!? Tech has known about Sorsby's gambling since April and had every intention of playing him. When the NCAA rightly suspended him, Tech backed the play to try to get a judge to overrule the NCAA
Tech can end its association with Sorsby at any time. Sorsby is not a victim, nor is Tech. They have full agency in everything they've done
I know what the court ruled and understand why people are upset, but assuming Texas Tech plays Brendan Sorsby, shouldn’t they be the ones receiving the most smoke? Nobody is forcing them to go through with this.
Absolutely Hilarious that the fake Texas Tech tough guy shtick from last week of “everyone is scared of us” and “spot the ball” is now an incredibly defensive, cowardly, weak version of what about-isms and “awe shucks we are victims just like Sorsby is”
College athletes start sports betting, openly, en masse
They get in the hole
Sportsbooks/bookies approach them…”we’ll wipe your debt if you do ___ on the field”
Once we get to that point, college athletics = dead
THAT is why Sorsby can’t be allowed to play
@davidfloyd1980@DavidPurdum@PeteThamel@max_olson You are clearly not understanding that tech is condoning the behavior from this point on.
Would you hire and then retain someone who knowingly committed unethical acts that go against the nature of your work at 2 prior places after u found out or would you look for an exit ramp?
@JacobHarrisSBI Fun facts:
Son in law is a tech grad apparently. Judge is from Tarrant county… wonder who else lives in Tarrant county? Idk the second most populous group of red raiders in Texas. One of your big time BORs lives in Tarrant county as well, can’t recall his name though. Oh well
