texas tech is exposing the ncaa for what it is but instead of everyone being upset with the ncaa they're slamming tech. remember who writes the rules. they are the real crooks.

[Jeff Cavanaugh @timeforjeffrey]

I gotta say I am genuinely confused at the massive outrage from other schools like every one of you wouldn't pray for the same result if it was your QB.

@hookem2009ex Thank you for knowing that.

“We are not scheduling [Texas Tech] moving forward.”

[Tech Hoops Guy @TechHoopsGuy]

I think it's insane that a state judge can temporarily tell the NCAA they aren't allowed to enforce a rule that every student-athlete agreed to follow. I say temporarily because this is just an injunction, and I'd wager the NCAA would (will?) ultimately prevail at trial.

I also don't think betting pennies on your own team from the literal stands warrants losing out on a season 4 years later, when there's a 100% chance that the integrity of games was never compromised. It's a really harsh penalty.

It is difficult to rationalize those two thoughts. But it is possible to believe them at the same time.

Regardless, the notion that Tech Football should seppuku itself by not playing Sorsby is hilarious. After all, a conference opponent that knowingly played Sorsby lobbed this grenade into Tech's lap. And we're only a few years removed from conference realignment meaning Tech Football could be in the Mountain West or WAC. They tried (and are still trying) to kill us.

There is no honor to restore in college football.

@michaelmortiz2 Who is Soresby?

[Alex Root @Mister_Root]

I'm still waiting.

I’m still trying to figure out what rule Texas Tech has broken. If anyone finds out, please let me know.

The Brendan Sorsby ruling should be the tipping point that pushes college football to the obvious conclusion (which isn’t the bill in the Senate).

[Darren Heitner @heitner]

I don't understand why some are conflating the outrage over the Sorsby decision with Congress potentially passing an #NIL bill.

The Sorsby ruling centers on a state court’s temporary injunction allowing Sorsby to play despite documented gambling on college sports, including his own teams.

You could argue that raises legitimate questions about NCAA enforcement authority and competitive integrity.

But the Protect College Sports Act addresses separate issues such as capping NIL compensation, limiting third-party payments, restricting the transfer portal, and giving the NCAA an antitrust exemption.

These are distinct matters.

Anyway, good luck getting Republicans and Democrats to agree on anything.

I don’t get Tech becoming a villain because a judge made a bizarre ruling, which could still be overturned assuming the NCAA appeals.

I think the ruling standing would be an injustice based on rules & precedent, but don’t act like your program would sit an eligible $5M QB out.

[Alex Root @Mister_Root]

@hookem2009ex Texas is irrelevant.

[Jody S. Laughter∴ @Lubbockist]

@TomMarsLaw @clarencehilljr No, Leach would have punished him himself in some exotic and hilarious way. He would have covered him in honey and tied him to a tree in the Inn of the Mountain God's parking lot all night to attract bears or something.

[CFB Junkies @gwilkie80]

This is a great example of how little people know about the Sorsby situation and courts.

Tx Tech can't be penalized for following a judge's court order. Their only real exposure is if they declare Sorsby ineligible to play for them against the court order, then he can sue the crap out of them.

Plus the NCAA has no jurisdiction over the CFP.

[III @hcolombi_3]

What are all these fan bases going to do when they find out 95% of their players bet on sports as well?

[Alex Root @Mister_Root]

Crossed the Rubicon with the @GamblinGauchos tonight.

@be_trades You’re still failing to state, specifically, what rule Tech has broken.
