Under what authority would you invoke to provide this distribution, and how much would you likely take for yourself to do so? That would reduce the benefit quite a bit I would estimate. Not unlike USAID and un-named other fraudsters. Your history of participating in league with these organizations disallows you any credibility in proposing distribution of other peoples money.
Of course it was about Tech. They paid $5MM all those saying all you had to do was say you would play him meant we get penalized because we are out the money. Is that hard to understand? People talk about all TTU had to do, it took them two weeks to decide we would pay and not get any benefit, not long. And, in between a court ruled he was eligible. What is your problem.
TTU : What did we do wrong?
NCAA: You didn't get rid of the kid.
Big 12 : You didn't get rid of the kid.
College Sport: You didn't get rid of the kid.
Okay, the kid is going to NFL supp. draft.
You: You didn't stand by the Kid.
@BearcatMTA If they were compliant, they were stupid. Of course they can be non compliant and stupid too. They really didn't have an incentive to know after all did they. Stupidity can also serve as plausible deniability. Stupid is as stupid does.
Just like I said they knew ahead of 2025 season, besides your the one talking about intentions that will never happen, so you are the one speculating. But it will all come out. Google it! putz.
Brendan Sorsby agent claims Cincinnati knew about gambling addiction, did nothing.
“If anybody should be questioned or catching heat, it should be Cincinnati,” Slavin said via 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “Because they knew for two years and never said anything or didn’t do anything about it. That’s the part of the story that gets lost.”
Matt Hayes of the USA TODAY reported that Cincinnati was alerted of Sorsby’s gambling habits back in August 2025. Still, the quarterback went on to play the entire season. He threw for 2,800 yards, 27 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. Cincinnati used Sorsby on the ground too, seeing him total 580 yards and nine scores. As a team, the Bearcats finished the year 7-6.
@fleckfreely@OwnHimLuka Not exactly inquiring minds. It was certainly in their interest to stay stupid to enjoy the benefits of plausible deniability while he executed a mass gambling endeavor under their noses.
@fleckfreely@OwnHimLuka They got a tip in August of 2025 from betting service. They reportedly handled internally providing education but not disclosing in violation of Big 12 rules. Hope that clarifies things for you. Google if you like.
@Firstand16_Pod I wasn't handled by Cincinnati the right way. Handling internally is without notifying the Big 12 is a rule violation. In August Cincy was notified by sports betting site.
Of course they entertained the idea as the court provided a two game suspension. TTU had to determine to abide by a state court determination or a Big 12 rule. You have really no idea of their intent as playing him or not had yet to occur. And, as it happens TTU does not get any benefit for $5MM which TTU detractors were always unwilling to see the difficulty in that decision.
@GuyBannister63@OwnHimLuka Pete Rose endured the punishment the Red's didn't. In the current issue the only bad guy seems to be TTU. What is it with Cincinnati and gambling?
It is important wouldn't you agree to not enforce those rules selectively. TTU and the league deserve that. Cincy had an obligation under Big 12 rules to disclose what they say they handled internally after Aug 25 notice of Sorsby's gambling. Not following this rule is a violation and not only can potentially harm the integrity of the sport, but in this case specifically caused TTU harm to the tune of $5mm.
In Sorsby's case, Cincinnati receive a Prohibet alert in Ausgust of 2025 (pre-season) flagging his gambling activity. They met with him, provided education, but continued playing him as starting QB for the full 2025 season without (apparently) escalating a full report to the NCAA or fully disclosing the scope during his January 2026 transfer to Texas Tech. Big 12 has specific rules. Cincinnati saying they handled internally effectively admits they violated these rules. They did not disclose as obligated to under rule. By not disclosing this looks like concealment but it also violates Big 12 specific rules, that Conferences expect schools to uphold uniform standards, and inadequate disclosure during transfers can undermine league integrity (where have we heard that before?). This effectively cost TTU $5MM. Thanks Big 12 for seeing the big picture.
