Games played by Brendan Sorsby after bets on Indiana Football Team:

Indiana - 11
Cincinnati - 24
Texas Tech - 0

Every time I open this app, it’s a whole different experience

[Punts Suck @puntssuck]

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.

@CarsonDField Yall want his son to come play for the Sooners, don’t you? You want a shot at some of his money. Don’t lie

[Punts Suck @puntssuck]

@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.

Hey @finebaum quick question, this you?

[Punts Suck @puntssuck]

@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

[Jackson @JacksonBig12]

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

[Punts Suck @puntssuck]

@jaylassoku Whoa… logic? This can’t stand. Don’t let people see you use your brain here. You’ll get lumped in with us degenerates

[Alex Root @Mister_Root]

I'm still waiting.

[Tim Cowlishaw @TimCowlishaw]

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.

[Troy Bassett 🌵🦅🦅 @RTB_II]

Georgia speaking on integrity and holding programs accountable is like OJ trying to find the real killer.

[Punts Suck @puntssuck]

This is “integrity of the game” stuff here. Not what Sorsby did

[Kevin Turner @ktfuntweets]

What this anonymous Big 12 coach said is worse than anything Sorsby did and another failure to understand the details of this entire case.

[Punts Suck @puntssuck]

@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

There it is. The dumbest thing you’ll read on this app all day. And it’s 843 am

[Bobby Burton @BobbyBurtonOTF]

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.

[Tim Cowlishaw @TimCowlishaw]

Which Sorsby is not accused of doing, even by the NCAA, but go ahead and shout like everyone else.

[ASU_SuperFan 🔱 @ASU_SuperFan]

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.

[Jacob Harris @JacobHarrisSBI]

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).
