Above all else, I'll always remember the Sorsby thing as the event that caused Texas Tech's most annoying oil baron to threaten to sue a Kansas State fan because he got mad online
Congress has no power to stop college athletes from suing in state court for breach of contract. The only meaningful remedy to stop schools from supporting decisions like the one handed down in Sorsby v. NCAA is to eject schools from their Conference.
I'll rephrase it:
"The system was walking a plank, so I figured we'd just go ahead and push it off, while simultaneously lobbying to alter the rules in favor of my alma mater."
The Brendan Sorsby court ruling is unlike any NCAA loss before it.
This one is unconscionable.
Shame on Texas Tech for supporting it.

Texas judge Ken Curry said Brendan Sorsby would suffer “irreparable harm” if he wasn’t allowed to play for Texas Tech.
Yeah, that’s exactly the point, you dummy. Good job ruining the integrity of sports.

My friend and attorney Chad Hatmaker, who has experience in eligibility cases, summed up Sorsby ruling well. “This might be the case that actually generates real reform. That’s absolutely ridiculous. If you have an illness as an employee, you don’t get to break the rules because of it. An alcoholic can’t come to work drunk without getting fired.”
