Coy Eakin highlights are actually filthy.

Can’t wait to see him have his biggest season ever. Wreck Em.

[Preston Ŧ Long @STXAmbassador]

Wow ! What punishment from the Big 12 should be handed down to Texas Tech in light of this big news ? Maybe we should pay the 250,000 K to both K States Athletics DPT and Iowa States Athletics Department for opting out of their Bowl games .

[Tim Brando @TimBrando]

The whipping of @TexasTechFB is both overstated and underwhelming to their fan base, and I get it. Yeah, they’ve taken a PR hit, but in today’s climate ya really think they care. I’ll remind those
Pundits that have suggested without Sorsby they’re not any good, they’ve got no idea what they’re talking about! They’re the prohibitive favorite to win the @Big12Conference with a healthy @Will_Hammond13 simple as that.

“Institutions cannot control court rulings, legal strategies or judicial outcomes,” Mohajir continued. “What we can control is playing time and the standards we set for participation in our programs.”

And two AD’s just had their fines cut in half for choosing not to play in a bowl game which equaled half a million. Mixed signals it seems.

[Tim Brando @TimBrando]

“OMG SORSBY”🤦‍♂️ I’ve seen & heard enough. #OnBrando

[Bussin' With The Boys @BussinWTB]

At this point Sark and Joey McGuire should just fight

Nothing to SEC here

18 yr old red shirt freshman at @IndianaFootball - bet on his team. Where is the outrage then? @NCAA has software to check the kids phones for??? GAMBLING

Transfers to: @GoBearcatsFB: @ncaa knew then and so did Cinci - because of software. He becomes a superstar - no gambling reported. Where is the outrage @GeorgiaFootball ?

Now he’s at @TexasTechFB: He must be crucified and @NCAA can’t believe he’s saying he’s an addict.

Blame Tech if you want. But they are the ones who helped the kid out. If you’re pissed at Tech - you’re just hating the players we are getting. Sorsby never should have got to his 2nd semester freshman year. Never should have played a down at Cinci - @NCAA you are the problem.

Games played by Brendan Sorsby after bets on Indiana Football Team:

Indiana - 11
Cincinnati - 24
Texas Tech - 0

[Joe Lopez🌵🏴‍☠️🦅🦅 @TTUPezidente]

Why is everyone skipping over the bigger issue here? If Cincy knew about the gambling allegations and chose to do nothing, why aren’t they facing the same scrutiny this morning? Had the situation been addressed when it was discovered, this likely wouldn’t even be a story today.

[Adam Loewy @LoewyLawFirm]

It’s great to see how many sports reporters do not even know the basic facts here.

A real mask off moment.

[Tech N Tortillas 🦅🦅🌵 @techntortillas]

Michigan sign stealing scandal

Schools cheating in recruiting paying players under the table for decades

Schools knowingly playing rapist and murders

But no CFB has a meltdown at a dude on the bench betting 20 bucks that his team is going to win getting a reduced suspension

[jayhawk lasso @jaylassoku]

texas tech is exposing the ncaa for what it is but instead of everyone being upset with the ncaa they're slamming tech. remember who writes the rules. they are the real crooks.

[Nate Longshore @mrlongshore]

I understand why people are uncomfortable with the Brendan Sorsby situation. Betting on sports as a college athlete is serious. Betting connected to your own team creates an obvious integrity concern. Nobody has to minimize that.

But there is another side to this that college football people should at least be honest enough to acknowledge.

When a player becomes part of your program, he becomes part of your football family. That does not mean you excuse everything. It does not mean accountability disappears. It means you do not abandon him the second the situation becomes difficult, public, or uncomfortable.

There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake.

Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity.

But now the court has ruled that he is legally allowed to play. That changes the structure of the decision.

If Texas Tech turns its back on him now, what message does that send to every player and family they recruit? That we will fight for you until the pressure gets too loud? That we will call you family when you are producing, but distance ourselves when standing beside you becomes inconvenient?

If I were recruiting against Texas Tech and they abandoned him after he was legally cleared to play, I would use that every time. Not because the mistake does not matter, but because trust matters. Families want to know what happens when their son is injured, struggling, accused, embarrassed, or sitting in the middle of a situation nobody wants attached to the program.

Accountability and loyalty are not opposites.

You can believe justice should be served. You can believe the integrity of the game matters. You can believe gambling violations deserve real consequence. You can also believe that a program should stand by its people through the full process, not just through the easy parts.

That is the hard part of family.

You do not only fight for your people when the optics are clean. You fight for them through the good and the bad, while still demanding accountability, treatment, discipline, and truth.

Texas Tech may not like the position it is in. Most programs would not. But once he is legally allowed to play and remains part of the Red Raider family, abandoning him strictly because of social pressure would send its own message.

And that message may be harder to overcome than the controversy itself.

[Lawrence Kansas football RULES! @Brewenor]

We all know it's just because TTU is spending like the B1G & SEC schools

The powers in charge just can't have that
