So is the CFB world boycotting Cincy? Are they discussing banning them from the CCG? Or do they skirt punishment for covering it up?
Do we only have outrage when Texas Tech has transparency and stands by the guy at his lowest point?
What wild 24 hours. Here are 3โฃ 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).
He has officiated 6 games of ours this year. His games have a +8.5 FT attempts per game favoring opponents and +6 fouls per game favoring opponents, including +10 to UCF and +12 to Duke.
Texas Tech now has wins over
Duke - Neutral
Arizona - Road
BYU - Home
Houston - Home
Iowa State - Road
Now too bad for the 40the best team, right @EvanMiya
Not too bad for a 10th seed, right @GoodmanHoops#WreckEm
ESPN owns all broadcasting rights to the CFP.
All CFP money is paid by ESPN
ESPN owns all SEC broadcasting rights.
ESPN owns all ACC broadcasting rights.
ESPN isnโt the primary owner of B1G or Big 12 rights anymore.
ESPN doesnโt own primary Notre Dame broadcast rights.
Is anyone surprised ESPN managed to invest $20 million in its main product and found away to shun a more deserving Big 12 program and/or Notre Dame to invest $4 million in its ACC product instead?
Only $16 million to B1G and Big 12 where ESPN has minimal broadcasting rights compared to $32 million paid to ESPN owned conference rights.
Follow the money and it all makes sense.
