What a terrible message this sends out to the kids now. Go ahead and gamble on your own games. If you get caught, just claim it was due to "mental illness".

I don't see how Sorsby had a "likelihood of success" on his underlying claim, which is a requirement for a temporary injunction. That said, this is dicey for Tech. If they ultimately lose the case and that happens before the end of the season, all games he played in will be forfeited and their post-season won't happen. The NCAA ought to push for a trial to occur ASAP.

It will be like Reggie Bush's Heisman, IMO - the actual case will be decided (or dropped) well after the season concludes and, at some point, somebody may declare them all losses, but nobody will care - especially when they make the CFP again.

Could a judge from Stillwater or Waco issue a restraining order against him?

They probably would if they thought their teams stood even half a chance against tceh.
BYU on the other hand...

" Gambling addiction isn't a small problem. A survey found that half of men under 50 have sports-betting accounts. In 2024, 10% of men under 30 had a serious gambling problem. I'll bet it's even higher now."

Several things need to be cleared up. I think this decision is atrocious. Several here are blaming the NCAA. This decision didn't come from the NCAA. They ruled him ineligible. This was a state district judge that reinstated him. I think that decision was wrong and inexplicable. But this judge is a long standing judge in Fort Worth who is retired but still sits by assignment. He has NO connection with tt.

Tech should have to forfeit every game Sorsby plays in. Problem solved.

We are truly in the "anything goes" stage of college sports. Why not just outbid the NFL for some of their best players. Sue the NCAA and get an injunction if they object.

Crazy

And still, I plan to watch.

As much as I love college sports I am hoping it gets shut down for a while until it is fixed.

And I don't care how long that will take to get fixed honestly

This is absurd

Even if every game is vacated by the ncaa, the ncaa does not control the playoffs. So if a team is 0-12 according to the ncaa but they've won every game, ESPN and the playoff committee will see them as 12-0

Up until today, I've made sure my kids have college and pro athletes as their role models. The rapes and crime and womanizing and abandoning education wasn't enough for me to tell them to find new role models. But this gambling, too far!

At this point, all eligibility rules are null and void. There is nothing the NCAA can do if a player who has been ruled ineligible is ruled able to play by an outside entity. The only recourse the NCAA has at this point is to say yes Sorsby can play, but the punishment will be automatic forfeiture for Tech for knowingly playing a player that violated NCAA rules. Tech would then have to choose whether the player or the team is more important.

Problem #1

Football used to be a game
Football is now Big Business

Football has always been big business. Only now the players are making money also.
Status quo has been disrupted.

So if York gets cut and doesn't make an NFL squad can we now bring him back and have a Brazos County judge rule him eligible in some "right to earn a living" type thing? Linebacker depth!!!

After this, I don't ever wanna hear cody campbell say one more word about "saving college sports" or those poor, defenseless olympic sports he claims to be concerned about. He's a hypocrite. He doesn't give a piss about college sports.

If cody campbell wants to save college sports - don't let sorsby play. simple as that. otherwise no one should ever take that guy seriously again.

Coaches don't have to play the addict. He could eligibly sit the bench, or even better, he could be cut from the team by tech themselves and make room for another hard working kid who plays by the rules. Of course we know that won't happen because there are no owners in college football. An NFL team can release a guy if they don't want him heading their franchise. In college sports it's just endless committees with no authority or responsibility.

When UH plays tech, one of their back up defenders could just blow out his knee. He would be rejoiced.

If Sorsby plays, the committee just needs to keep them out of the playoff. They could easily do it and justify it. And ALL college football fans would agree with it.

Schools should just cancel their games with Tech. The NCAA already made it clear that's he's ineligible, case closed. Games will get vacated so might as well hurt their resume to keep them out of playoffs.

This is a great point. Let the courts say what they want. We refuse to play programs that are going to blatantly break the rules that we all agreed to play by. These teams need to be blackballed.

Yes

If anything this has just made everyone focused on hating Tech and Sark's dumb comments will now be either forgotten or now he's a saint.

So NCAA cannot have a rule like every other sport that you cannot bet on games if you are a player? This is gonna be bad!
I cannot see the reason a judge would enter this order. There is no need for it. NCAA has a rule, kid broke rule, penalty enforced. That should be end of it.

The only thing "college" about "college sports" is they are played in generally the same location that college sports used to be played in.

Georgia AD thinks everyone should go scorched earth and no one play them in any sports if they allow him to play.

Quote:

"I think there needs to be serious conversations about not playing Texas Tech in any sports," Brooks told Dellenger. "This is not about Texas Tech. It's about protecting our own locker room. We cannot in good conscience put our student-athletes on a field where the competitive integrity of the contest is compromised and overridden by the courts. If a state court wants to dictate eligibility rules, they can play themselves."
