[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.

"When Georgia goes high moral ground, watch out. That's a football program that should have its own Autobahn. Give me a break... This is a kid that did something idiotic, which is what kids do."

@colincowherd weighs in on Brendan Sorsby being ruled eligible in 2026

[Nate Longshore @mrlongshore]

I understand why people are uncomfortable with the Brendan Sorsby situation. Betting on sports as a college athlete is serious. Betting connected to your own team creates an obvious integrity concern. Nobody has to minimize that.

But there is another side to this that college football people should at least be honest enough to acknowledge.

When a player becomes part of your program, he becomes part of your football family. That does not mean you excuse everything. It does not mean accountability disappears. It means you do not abandon him the second the situation becomes difficult, public, or uncomfortable.

There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake.

Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity.

But now the court has ruled that he is legally allowed to play. That changes the structure of the decision.

If Texas Tech turns its back on him now, what message does that send to every player and family they recruit? That we will fight for you until the pressure gets too loud? That we will call you family when you are producing, but distance ourselves when standing beside you becomes inconvenient?

If I were recruiting against Texas Tech and they abandoned him after he was legally cleared to play, I would use that every time. Not because the mistake does not matter, but because trust matters. Families want to know what happens when their son is injured, struggling, accused, embarrassed, or sitting in the middle of a situation nobody wants attached to the program.

Accountability and loyalty are not opposites.

You can believe justice should be served. You can believe the integrity of the game matters. You can believe gambling violations deserve real consequence. You can also believe that a program should stand by its people through the full process, not just through the easy parts.

That is the hard part of family.

You do not only fight for your people when the optics are clean. You fight for them through the good and the bad, while still demanding accountability, treatment, discipline, and truth.

Texas Tech may not like the position it is in. Most programs would not. But once he is legally allowed to play and remains part of the Red Raider family, abandoning him strictly because of social pressure would send its own message.

And that message may be harder to overcome than the controversy itself.

You tell’em Coach. Welcome back, Brendan. Thank God for 2nd Chances.

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

This century, teams were 0-640 when trailing by 8+ runs in an NCAA softball tourney game.

It's now 1-640. Texas Tech was down 8 runs WITH ONLY ONE OUT LEFT and somehow became the first 🤯

How the times have truly changed

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

BREAKING: Rep. Tim Burchett just CONFIRMED that Trump's admin is doing something that NO OTHER admin has ever done:

"I was impressed with the guy. The acting director. I was surprised that he said, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna take the blame for stuff that's going on in the past."

"He said, because I'm at— basically, I'm the one running the show, and he's not going to pass the buck. I thought that's something that's really missing in Washington. So Um, got some things really that are going right, I feel like."

"And you're not going to hear that in the press, obviously, because it's the Trump administration, but it's the truth. He's got some good people in there."

"Anyway, thank y'all for sending me here."

God Bless @POTUS and our fighters like @timburchett in Congress!
