Statement regarding Brendan Sorsby.
Long Live the Matadors!

[Jody S. Laughter∴ @Lubbockist]

The Sorsby stuff has been "taked" to death but here is mine after sitting in it for a few days. Barring a change on the legal side, he will be a member of the team in the fall. That's not up to TTU. If he is on the team, he will likely (per contract) earn his full revenue share/NIL money. TTU has no choice in that matter either.

The only question then for Texas Tech, is if he plays or if he sits on the bench and earns a paycheck.

So what the rest of the country is asking Texas Tech to do, is to pay him to practice, to be on the team, and not play football. This, they say, will protect the integrity of the game.

But what did he do that supposedly compromised the integrity of the game in the first place? He placed bets...from the bench.

So what we're really talking about isn't protecting game integrity in 2026 at all. We're talking about punishment. Punishing Sorsby for 2022.

Punishing Sorsby by paying him $5 million to not play. That's not much of a punishment if you ask me.

When you tear away all the bluster and moralizing, what they are really asking is for Texas Tech - and Texas Tech alone - to be punished.

Not Sorsby, not Indiana where it happened, not Cincinnati who played him after. Texas Tech alone.

The rest of college football would love nothing more, and would be laughing the entire time.

Our program should evaluate his mental and physical fitness, and his compliance with the order put in place. We should make sure that, all else being equal, he is our best option before going out on that field. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.

But we should not let bullying, threats, and emotion (from those who already wished us harm) to have any bearing on that decision whatsoever.

Strip it all away and they are really asking for Texas Tech to be the only party in this scandal to be punished. The only party who, by any objective measure, has done absolutely nothing wrong.

Do that, and the outrage from the peanut gallery will not turn to adulation, or even silence. It will turn to mockery.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

A message to the Texas Tech community from our leadership.

Hey @finebaum quick question, this you?

[Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera]

Elections should be
-in person
-one day only
with exceptions for disabilities, military or travel.
-Photo IDs should be mandatory and available at no cost at any federal government office. example Social Security, VA, USPO, Selective Service or DMV.

[Denis Comer @DenisComer]

@stephen_richer How will scanning it verify that did not also vote in person when no ID is required for in person voting?

[Denis Comer @DenisComer]

@Devsthetix @muheediva01 It has vinegar in it. Safe outside fridge, better quality in the fridge.

Time to get election results:

🇧🇷 Brazil: 2 hours (124M ballots)
🇫🇷 France: 4 hours (34M ballots)
🇮🇳 India: 24 hours (640M ballots)
🇩🇪 Germany: 8 hours (51M ballots)
🇦🇷 Argentina: 6 hours (25M ballots)
🇺🇸 California: 37 DAYS (10M ballots)

[Tyler Bindi @TripleNetTyler]

Went to vote today for the California primaries

The guy next to me called over an election worker because his ballot didn't include the LA mayoral race

The worker checked and told him it was because his registered address was in Malibu, which is outside the City of LA

The guy then asked if he could provide another address

To my surprise, the answer was yes

So he gave the worker an LA address, they voided his previous ballot, issued a new one, and suddenly he was able to vote for the mayor of LA

How is voter ID not mandatory in all 50 states?

[Denis Comer @DenisComer]

@JesseMyers88 Was CFP suppose to weigh the loss to Florida more?

[Denis Comer @DenisComer]

@CJVogel_OTF Texas obviously wants to say no, and I get it. They're kinda backed in a corner, and not because they're scared of Tech, because they're scared of 3 potential losses like last season. It'll be clear that is why if they do say no.

@BernieSanders I just fail to understand how you even do this. 5% of 1bil is 50mil. These billionaires don't just have 50mil in cash laying around. Their worth is in investments. They'd have to sell a huge amount of stock or real estate to pay this. The market would crash.

@SqSehrish I get some people are not great at math, but I need an explanation on some of these wild answers. 😅

[Denis Comer @DenisComer]

@mitchellvii Rand Paul yes, the others no.

[Denis Comer @DenisComer]

@ScottPresler I voted for Wesley Hunt and really don't want to vote for either now. Guess I'm voting Paxton though. You've convinced me.
