@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.

Tech fans gonna be left holding one big huge bag of tears when this is all done and over with and UC receives no punishment due to being compliant.

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.

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka Sure, maybe. But at this point, you’re speculating. This opinion is based nowhere in fact. You probably would’ve been better off just ignoring my post. All we’ve done is gone full circle and proven your ignorance. I’d probably Google things before speaking so matter of factly..

Texas Tech: follows all legal steps and supports a struggling player. CFB Fans: HOW DARE YOU BREAK THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME! KICK HIM OFF THE TEAM NOW! Texas Tech: mutually parts ways with Sorsby while promising to still support him. CFB Fans: HOW DARE YOU BETRAY A STRUGGLING ATHLETE!!

@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.

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka Attempting to sign up for Prize Picks doesn’t violate the NCAA- Prohibited Wager Policy. Page 25-26 (PDF 36-37) of the below NCAA manual applies to sports wagering. ncataggies.com/documents/2025…

@fleckfreely @OwnHimLuka Yes they had obligation to report and they did not.

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka The tip was from Aug 24 ( Not Aug 25). If he didn’t place a wager and was only denied access to PrizePicks, did that violate the NCAA-prohibited wagers and mandate reporting? The below excerpt is from the NCAA’s response to the injunction.

@JR3_Cyco Because a judge, an authority over a conference ruled him eligible.

My entire TL is filled with Texas Tech fans absolutely bitching and having a pity party. “Us against the world wah wah wah” - EVERYONE KNOWS THE RULES.. you gamble, you lose your eligibility. Why the fuck is that such a hard concept to understand? If Tech would have done the right thing FROM THE BEGINNING and cut him loose, this would all be a non-issue. My goodness yall are being a bunch of babies, go on and keep digging that hole for yourselves I guess

@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.

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka I think objectively it’s pretty obvious that Cincinnati did not have full knowledge of what he was doing. Sorsby went to pretty great lengths to hide his gambling and when confronted about it denied it. Cincinnati can’t just report violations with no evidence.

@GuyBannister63 @OwnHimLuka Oh, they were gonna.....

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka Are you daft? Because obviously he's announced he's going to the NFL or trying (No one will touch him because he's a degenerate gambler). I'm referring to before all that. Tech was gonna play him. Stay focused bro

@GuyBannister63 @OwnHimLuka Are you daft? He isn't playing, and we are out $5MM for actions not taken from his former team.

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka They heavily implied he would play. They never outright kicked him off the team or said he wouldn't play. That's why there's a lot of backlash. All Tech had to do was say he wasn't playing, period. And this wouldn't have happened.

@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.

Let's close this chapter of college football... Indiana - Likely had no idea Sorsby was betting, no reason to go after the team for something an individual did. Cincinnati - No evidence that they knew Sorsby bet on his former teams or college teams at all. He was flagged one time for a single bet, and it was handled. Could they have done more research and found out more about other betting cases? Sure, but again, they handled it with the information they were given. Texas Tech - They've looked pretty bad the last few days digging their feet in on defending Sorsby for not "breaking any laws" despite breaking every ethical rule out there, but legally you did nothing wrong. No hard feelings, let's move on. Sorsby - I hope he continues to get this gambling issue figured out. Go out and get picked up by an NFL team and have a successful career.

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.

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka Tech advocated for him to play. They said they would play him multiple times.

@mattlawson99 It took a week to decide they would spend $5MM to get nothing. At issue was he was ruled eligible.

They spent a week defending what everyone knew was ridiculous. Saying we were all wrong and they were right. Their own conference sued them for it, so they folded like a cheap suit. They sold respect for a slightly better team, and, predictably, it was all for nothing in the end.

@GuyBannister63 @OwnHimLuka Check your facts. TTU was surprised by the state courts ruling of eligibility.

@sell2open @OwnHimLuka The main difference is the Reds didn't advocate for his reinstatement. Tech advocated for Sorsby and was willing to play him.

@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?

@OwnHimLuka He bet on his OWN TEAM. Cardinal sin. There's a legendary player named Pete Rose that suffered a life sentence for doing this and it was deserved. Sorsby needs to be banned from football as well.

@deptulahasrage It is the innocent that need a defense the most. duh.

They just won't STF up, even now that it is over, they are still trying to defend themselves. Why does an innocent need a defense?

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.

BYU and Utah deserve honest competition. @govcox and I stand with the Big 12 and support its right to enforce its own rules.

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.

One notable argument in the Big 12's lawsuit against Texas Tech and Texas AG Ken Paxton is that the Big 12 makes and enforces its own rules—and that even if the NCAA can't enforce its rules due to court order, a conference can still enforce its own rules: sportico.com/law/analysis/2….

@deptulahasrage Yeah, they will.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL, the Texas Tech hierarchy table propaganda effort attempting to defend the indefensible, did serve one purpose. It clarified for the Big 12 all the individuals they would list as defendents in the federal lawsuit brought by the league. Texas Tech AIN'T winning this one, LOL. @TheROARFM

@Okla_OAG Good luck getting a court to side with the Big 12. They have no leg to stand on here.

I applaud the Big 12 Conference for filing a legal complaint against Texas Tech seeking confirmation of its authority to sanction the institution if quarterback Brendan Sorsby plays during the 2026 football season. My office will protect Oklahoma’s own stake in the integrity of these contests. oklahoma.gov/oag/news/newsr…

@BoxScore_FB Oh good a definitive statement. Please tell me how TTU is clearly in the wrong?

Texas Tech is clearly in the wrong here, but this has the potential to permanently ruin TT’s relationship with the Big 12. Could the conference realignment gates be opening again soon?
