@jj4hill@BigBlueCarti@On3@PeteNakos Nope. Penalizing a program for following a court order would ruin the integrity of the sport. We’re just trying to protect the integrity just like everyone else.
@PizzaHutFC@BigBlueCarti@On3@PeteNakos The school you just described is Cincinatti and not Texas Tech. Texas Tech has never played a known gambler in the history of the program.
Everyone wants Texas Tech to “do the right thing.”
This is college sports, when has that ever been a thing?
Focus on ending judicial interference rather than bash the Red Raiders for doing what almost everyone else would do (or has done).

@seanbush3 Everyone was already pissed off at us. Look at the softball drama from a week ago. Every other program in the same situation would be attempting the same thing. The magnitude of this is different but if it wasn’t this then it’d be something else.
The replies are hilarious. Nowhere does this statement say Brendan Sorsby will play this season. Nowhere does it say he needs to play in order to be supported in his recovery.
Yet the replies are all asking why those two things must be true. Not surprising given how poorly understood this entire case is by the peanut gallery.
@AggieMediocrity I do think he should be more quiet rn. Some comments are doing more harm than good. They’re understandable though because we’re taking many slings and arrows. Some of them warranted. Most of them not. Hard to not want to defend yourself.
In case anyone doubted the player’s well being has been at the center of this the entire time for Texas Tech.
Meanwhile, the school is getting dragged through the mud despite ruling him ineligible, not being involved in the litigation, and not being aware of the gambling like Cincinnati was when he played for them.
Be mad at the judge or the NCAA or whatever, but Texas Tech has done the right thing at every turn.
NEW: Texas Tech's Joey McGuire says Brendan Sorsby returning for Week 3 against Houston after his suspension is a "stretch":
"He’s recovering from an addiction. I’ve sat down with this young man multiple times and what he’s going through and what he's been through is serious."
