Penn State got a post-season ban, vacated wins, scholarship reduction, fired everybody, and the perpetrator went to prison.
Cody Campbell is a dumbass.
32 years ago today: DOGPILE IN OMAHA!
OU baseball won the 1994 National Championship.
The Sooners took down Georgia Tech, who were led by future MLB stars such as Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Varitek and Jay Payton.
OU swept its way through Omaha, including a 13-5 win in the championship game.
NEWS: The Oklahoma Attorney General's office issued a rebuttal letter to the Texas AG's office's letter to the Big 12. Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond says that the idea that Big 12 may not sanction its members is “facially absurd” and says Texas Tech’s actions have “constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football.” Per me and @max_olson.
Texas Tech giving the loudest “mom says you have to play with me” energy I’ve ever seen.
I just can’t believe they’re doing all this for QB whose best season is 7-6 with a Liberty Bowl loss
It’s important to keep Texas Tech’s history in mind when looking at the Brendan Sorsby situation.
The Red Raiders have NEVER won a National Championship.
They have NEVER even finished a season ranked in the Top 6 of the AP Poll.
They have NEVER spent a week ranked AP #1.
They have ONE 12 win season all time.
No Heisman winners.
When you understand the context it’s easier to see why they are willing to ruin any reputation they had for a guy who placed bets on his own team.
I'm not sure Texas Tech is really getting this. Had they just been that scrappy underdog school on the plains with a wacky oil billionaire alumnus who showered them with millions to out-recruit the "blue bloods," I and everybody else would be high-fiving them with glee.
But this Sorsby thing is straight up taking a ginormous shit in the punchbowl. Nobody resents you winning, or paying your team well, it's that you are making excuses for someone who committed the ultimate sin in sports. And no, other teams aren't threatening to boycott you because they're "afraid of you," it's that by taking your giant shit in the punchbowl, you effectively voted yourself off the island.
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.”
Can I return back to college football?
I only played 2 seasons, should have 2 more eligibility years left….
Can you find me a judge in Louisiana who can see to it that Honey Badger gets to finish his last 2 years of college football?
Who’s going to say no ?????
There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set.
Want a 7th year?
Sure
Broke rules?
Ahhhh, it’s fine.
There AREN’T any rules.
