Sorsby won a temporary injunction, not a verdict. Assuming he plays this season, he will drop the case the minute the season is over, thereby ending the injunction, and there will be nothing left for the NCAA to appeal.

The NCAA's recourse at this point will be to take action against Tech, presumably through things like post season bans and whatnot, which I don't think would involve the courts at all. It would be on Tech in that case to file suit against the NCAA, which I assume they would... they would argue that they were following the terms of the injunction.

What happens after that? Who knows.

I think - but I am not sure - that the injunction does not require Tech to allow Sorsby to join the team this fall. I don't really know how the injunction could do that, since Tech wasn't a named party in the suit. So I don't know how Tech could argue that they were following the terms of the injunction, but I'm not a lawyer and I don't know how all that works.

Regardless, I think Tech is choosing a really stupid hill on which to die, and death is a real potential outcome. Best case is that Tech pisses off the NCAA, the Big 12, and whatever league Tech might want to join at some point in the future. Other possible outcomes could include NCAA and league sanctions that would put Tech back 3 years or more in trying to become competitive on a national level.

The Tech administration is acting foolishly here and I'm really shocked by it.

All the NCAA has to do is inform Tech that they will forfeit any game in which they play an ineligible player.

i would bet the judge's interpretation of his order would include this being enjoined.

so if ncaa did this, they'd be back to the same judge that would either say it was already included in the order or amend it to make it included.

Some people on here acted like the radical recent changes in college football (NIL and unrestricted transfers) were no big deal. "Payers have been paid all along", they said. Well, this sorry episode demonstrates convincingly that when money is all that matters, then money is also a blunt instrument, a weapon to be used to circumvent everything, including the rule of law. The ultimate outcome is ultimately anarchy and disaster.

I sincerely and fully wish that Texas A&M would abandon football altogether. It's a disgusting, nasty business that demeans the diploma hanging on my wall.

Then throw your diploma away, dumbass. What an embarrassing statement to make.

---

Haha, you truly don't get it. I'm the one who understands the true value in my diploma, but if you want to support a lawless carnival that literally has no connection to Texas A&M University and call that college football, then you're lost, man. LOST.

---

What a dumbass. You think your diploma means anything to your university? Your diploma means you were able to follow directions, not much else.

I "support" a lawless carnival because I enjoy Texas A&M football. I enjoy going to baseball games when invited. If you choose not to support our athletic program, I don't give a ***** I actually prefer you STFU & GTFO of our boards.

did you feel the same way when JFF was getting paid when it was illegal and he gave the middle finger to the NCAA?

That whole thing was the biggest crock of sh** ever. You could go online anywhere in 2013 and find endless amounts of gear signed by Jadeveon Clowney, Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston, AJ McCarron, Sammy Watkins etc etc. Am I to assume they all just spent hours signing all that gear out of the goodness of their pure hearts?
