2. After the other hard stop edit after he stumbled through confirming they voted against athletes wagering on college athletics.
He starts to meander into this “stigma” about gambling being a mental health disorder.
Ummm… what?
Sorsby gambled underage in Indiana and Ohio. Transferred to Texas Tech, and sent money to out-of-state proxies to place bets on his behalf while located in Texas, which is a federal crime
When I lived in Texas it viewed itself as a law and order state. Apparently AG Ken Paxton is more interested in flushing competition integrity for tens of thousands of student athletes.
None of these people have a single ounce of shame. There will be calls for federal action against Sorsby now, as it might be the only way to maintain the public trust in college sports.
As I explained below, it Texas Tech gave a shit about Brendan Sorsby the person they would be handing all of this much differently
There is an irony in Cody Campbell spending millions to convince people he should be the great reformer of college sports before ultimately showing that he’s just another rich guy who is happy to bend the rules if it means his school wins a few more games
SMU had to shut down their program for 2 years because they paid some of their players $50,000
30 years later and a player who gambled $90,000 on HIS OWN TEAM is allowed to play all but 2 regular season games.
Screw Georgia !?!?
Nah, screw Portnoy.
Georgia is in a different class, Georgia moves different. Georgia doesnt JUST pimp out access to just anybody.
THEM DAWGS IS HELL. Go Dawgs🫡
This is such a disingenuous crock of shit. Nobody fixes a thing by breaking the parts of it that aren’t already broken
What isn’t broken right now is Saturdays. The games are still great.
That goes away when fans are right to wonder if a player decided to bet on a game.
Not that you need a PR team. You seem to be a “no one tells me what to do” guy.
But, I do think people were dumb enough to believe this charade of yours was all about “saving college sports” until the last 72 hours or so.
Now you just seem like a rich dude breaking stuff cause you can.
True integrity means holding your program accountable when things go wrong, not buying custom legislation or running to a local courtroom to bypass the rules.
Reaction from lawyer Tom Mars, a veteran of NCAA cases: "In 40 years as a lawyer, I've never been as shocked and surprised by a court ruling." That sums the reaction on the college sports landscape today.
This isn’t even remotely true. $AMZN went public in 1997 at a $450M valuation, or 3x revenues. $GOOGL went public in 2004 at a $23B valuation and at 7x revenues. $META had a $104B valuation in 2012 at 20x revenues(and immediately sold off almost 50%). SpaceX dwarfs these numbers.
