Six foot nothin' - Two hundred and somethin' - Hardly a speck of athletic ability

[Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo]

Full letter to Sorsby:

Dear Mr. Sorsby:

We are in receipt of your Petition for Special Eligibility, dated June 16, 2026 (“Petition”).  As announced earlier today, the League has elected not to conduct a Supplemental Draft this year.

Under our Collective Bargaining Agreement, the League retains sole discretion to determine whether it is appropriate to conduct a Supplemental Draft in any given year. The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry. Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions—does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.

The sole reasons identified in your Petition for seeking entry into the Supplemental Draft are that you have been “declared ineligible” by the NCAA, have “exhausted all of [your] avenues to continue in the NCAA,” and “want to now play in the NFL.” The Petition provides no information regarding the basis for, or timing of, the NCAA’s decision. Public sources, however, indicate that in May 2026 the NCAA issued a determination declaring you permanently ineligible from participation in college athletics, based on a sustained pattern of improper gambling activity during your collegiate career at three different universities.

The League does not have the complete record of the NCAA’s investigation, and you did not provide any such materials with your Petition. Available information nonetheless indicates that, over the course of your collegiate career, you knowingly engaged in repeated and significant violations of NCAA rules designed to preserve the integrity of athletic competition. Reported conduct includes placing wagers on your own team and teammates and, to avoid detection, establishing or funding accounts in the names of intermediaries who placed bets on your behalf. There are also reports that you may have violated state criminal law.

Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.

As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.

Sincerely,
Lawrence P. Ferazani, Jr.

@jessica_smetana I accept YouTube TV as cable. Cable is simply the spirit of channel surfing and watching things because they are on

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

It's important that we not forget what so many people involved with Texas Tech said during this time.

This is nice, it's like when my friends and I play basketball together

@jessica_smetana Certainly not if you were on trial for murder or beating somebody!

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

The number of people debasing themselves so that their team can lose in the first round of the playoff again is really good.

@NDFootball just officially reclaim the wins from 2012 and 2013 already

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

I understand being mad about this, but it's simply our job as fans to mercilessly bully this guy and team all season. Have we forgotten what college football is all about?!

NEWS: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

@SeanFennessey this isn't good for movies. What's the answer?

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

This schedule is so dumb. Even with stupid conference championship games we should be able to have the semis on Jan 1 and the Championship Jan 11

[Pete Sampson @PeteSampson_]

The College Football Playoff has announced kickoff times for this season. Please plan your January accordingly.

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

@PSLToFlushing Very cool how quickly he works his way back. All the credit to him. But let's make Torrens our primary starter regardless

@jessica_smetana Fortunately I had that bird at +165

@jessica_smetana Just reading the tweet is tough

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

@UngarCanes Thank you for reading so many of my tweets!

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

Notre Dame getting left out of the 2025 CFP is not a reason to expand to 24 teams. It's a reason to pick the correct 12 teams.

[Pete Sampson @PeteSampson_]

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips:

“Notre Dame was a CFP worthy team this year. They just were.”

Notes Notre Dame’s exclusion from the CFP last year is part of the reason why the ACC supports the expansion to a 24-team field.

[Stephen Kahn @StephenKahn12]

@UngarCanes Weird that you think my tweet had anything to do with Miami

[Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy]

How's Notre Dame/ACC getting along now? “Notre Dame,” a source told @On3, “is the guy that walks in the house, opens the fridge, eats all the food, then (screws) the wife, kicks the dog, doesn’t pay the mortgage & walks out w/out any skin in the game.”
