The Brendan Sorsby situation is a mess, but the bigger issue is how gambling has taken over sports. He deserves blame, but betting is everywhere. We push it nonstop, then act shocked when athletes get caught up in it. What he did was wrong, but this feels like a gambling problem.

How not to be average is a must watch speech by Curt Cignetti, Indiana University

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Coach Matt Campbell (@CoachMC_PSU) teaches a clinic here on culture, leadership, and the importance of your organization knowing how and why you do things:

🧫 "Culture is how you live, not what you say." Culture is behavior, not branding. It's not what hangs on the walls, it's what walks the halls! Your team will rarely become what you preach, but it will almost always become what you consistently tolerate, reinforce, and model.

🚂 Communication is the transportation system of leadership. A good leadership train turns complex into simple, digestible, and actionable instructions. Talent, effort, and good intentions can't move very far if the tracks aren't in place or if information isn't flowing like a train. The speed and quality of your communication often determine the speed and quality of your results.

🍓 People can go further when they understand the why behind the what and the how behind the habit. You feel more connected to the outcomes if you know the value of the fruit you're farming. That understanding creates ownership.

The culture at @PennStateFball is being built through relationships, reinforced through standards, and sustained where people understand why their actions matter. 🏗️

College coaches and athletic directors are “disgusted” by the Brendan Sorsby ruling - ESPN https://t.co/SyyU5sIe49

Sean McVay nailed the job description.
Be an elevator.

Lift people to their highest potential.
That's it.
That's leadership.

Not a critic. Not a ceiling. An elevator. 🔥

There's one rule above all that's critical in sports for the integrity of the game: Don't bet on your team.

Brendan Sorsby broke it. Yet the NCAA still lost in court.

On a historic ruling and an enforcement model with no teeth. Via @CBSSports:

“I don’t think that today is a feature, I think today is a bug. ... Today was so moronic.”

Is this the tipping point for collective bargaining?

Brendan Sorsby playing college football is unconscionable. That’s why Texas Tech is the only happy party - The Athletic https://t.co/CjX6ZOuZZV

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Big 12 ADs tell @YahooSports they’ve had “serious” talks on not playing Texas Tech. One SEC AD says there should be conversations about not playing Tech “in any sports.”

The Brendan Sorsby ruling has left an industry jarred.

“It’s total f***** bullshit.”

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

Another example where a model with employment/collective bargaining would be better than the current system.

A federal law with an antitrust exemption wouldn’t prevent this type of lawsuit.

Sorsby brought contract claims against the NCAA, not antitrust claims.

Great perspective from @NDFootball Coach Marcus Freeman (@Marcus_Freeman1) on why he feels he must remind his players to choose hard:

"Struggle with what you have."

Everyone starts from a different place. Some people are born on third base. Others have never even seen a triple. But growth isn't determined by where you begin, it's determined by the challenges you're willing to embrace.

When you step onto the field, the court, or into any defining moment, nobody cares where you started. What matters is how you've prepared, how you've responded to adversity, and how you've conditioned yourself for the grinding opportunity in front of you. It's a daily choice.

The hard way is the right way.

Choose hard!

Especially when life makes easy available.
