Interesting to me that the most outspoken ADs about boycotting Tech and not playing or scheduling the Red Raiders aren’t on the (football) schedule for 2026.
@TheStevenWillis The faux outrage is already a tired look. The NCAA admitted Sorsby’s betting actions never called into question the integrity of any game he wagered on. It’s not about betting. Be honest with yourself and say what you REALLY feel.
@TGGlobal2018@GetUpESPN@finebaum Literally everything about this tweet is factually inaccurate. Im not surprised it came from a Sooner though. Yall are a special bunch
This country has laws and a legal system.
Sorsby’s case was heard in front of a judge with no ties to Texas Tech.
The judge has determined Sorsby shall play football this year.
We have a duty to abide by the decision of our legal system.
Anything else would be anti-American
Look, Daniel, I don’t think it’s a great idea to bet on your own team. I wanted to hear people explain why. Only a few here had any idea why it might be bad. But I don’t think leagues and networks, like yours, in bed now with gambling can propose 1950s style penalties.
@Ruffinonjoeshow He admitted his wrongdoing, is seeking continued treatment and is facing consequences. If your problem is he isn’t facing harsh enough punishment, that’s your opinion and you should take it up with the NCAA
A school can lose its NCAA membership through severe rule violations (the "death penalty" or forced expulsion by the NCAA Committee on Infractions), by failing to maintain institutional accreditation, or by voluntarily resigning to join another athletic association.
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.
What wild 24 hours. Here are 3⃣ misconceptions/misinformation I'm seeing regarding the Brendan Sorsby case:
1. He bet on games he played in.
He did NOT bet on any games he suited up for.
While not great he bet on games while redshirting, he never bet on a game he suit up in.
2. The Judge in this case is from Lubbock.
Ken Curry is a retired Tarrant County (Fort Worth) judge that graduated from Houston and UT-Arlington. He is currently eligible to practice law and his practice is listed in Colleyville, TX (over 300 miles from Lubbock).
3. Texas Tech did something wrong.
He made all of his bets before taking a snap at Texas Tech. Cincinnati was alerted to his potential gambling activity (per ESPN).
Texas Tech declared him ineligible and will now follow the temporary injunction (like the rest of the NCAA).
