@flatland_sports And AD’s need to step in and actually think about what they say before saying it

College sports at it's core, is still a sports league for federally funded educational institutions. The government is already involved and needs to step in to prevent the sport from killing itself.
Greg Flugaur@flugempire
While I still believe CFP of 24 teams is best format and will cover the developing news around the future format…PATC will no longer be publicly supporting this measure. 24 team CFP would most help exactly those who are supporting government takeover of college sports.

@Jeff_Brunson Still don’t get it? Go ahead and justify this comment

@CyberTheCyFan Probably because Alabama didn’t want to play the dump that is CHA

@flatland_sports Already did. Tech still wanted to play Sorsby even though the NCAA has CLEAR RULES in place for gambling. Tech admins made us apparent they don’t agree with those rules
So where’s your “rebuttal”? Either you won’t respond or you’ll give a dumb answer.
English
The right way of course was to play him and sweep his gambling under the rug while the wrong way was to get him help and follow the established rules and protocols
Barstool Cincinnati@UCBarstool
There’s no one to blame except Sorsby. Cincinnati and Indiana handled it the right way. Texas Tech decided to cause a mess with it. That’s all

@davidfloyd1980 They don’t want a university whose AD makes comments like this
Hocutt: “As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility”

If the Big10 & SEC is tired of dealing with Cody Campbell and Texas Tech, just send the invite already. It’d be a lot easier than spending years trying to keep Texas Tech out while still having to deal with them at every turn.

@TTRedRaider1983 Hocutt: “As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility”
That’s everything we need to know about Tech. Get lost

1:14 of a 21+ minute interview. You can't hate the media enough.
Here's the full interview.

Trey Wallace@TreyWallace
Brendan Sorsby is filing a motion to dismiss his case against the NCAA with prejudice Texas Tech told Sorsby that in spite of the injunction, he would not be allowed to play this season for Red Raiders Cody Campbell told @KLBKNews that TTU had to make best decision for school
English
@RaiderTy92 Texas Tech essentially met with Sorsby after they were alerted he bet on games and said literally this
Hocutt: “As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility”
English
Cincinnati essentially met with Sorsby after they were alerted that he bet on South Korean turtle racing, said, “Hey, don’t do that.” Sorsby was like, “Ok, trust me bro.,” and Cincy was like, “Ok, here are some HR videos on gambling.”
Then played him for 2 seasons. 😭

NEW: Brendan Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, claims Cincinnati knew about the gambling addiction and took no action: “If anybody should be questioned or catching heat, it should be Cincinnati. 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.” (via @1053thefan) on3.com/news/brendan-s…

@flatland_sports Hocutt: “As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility”
English
@flatland_sports Right. Because we all know Texas Tech administrators felt Sorsby should still play
So I wouldn’t be ragging on Cincinnati.
English
Per his agent, Texas Tech decided that it was best to part ways.
Matthew Daley@MattDaleyOH
Stop it. Unless there was really piss poor communication between Tech and Sorsby, why did he suddenly decide to leave for the NFL if there was already an understanding that he might not play? Tech could’ve made this explicitly clear instead of going with the “well, maybe he won’t…” stuff, but they didn’t. All of this only makes sense if Sorsby believed that he would play and Tech was planning to play him (despite their PR efforts) with Tech suddenly deciding that none of this was worth it.
English
@flatland_sports Hey should anyone listen to Hocutt?
Hocutt: “As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility”
English
He's getting treatment and will receive support from Texas Tech for the rest if his life.
In the 22 minute video that everyone brags about not watching but thinks they know what was said, Kirby Hocutt stated that Brendan Sorsby has aspirations to play in the NFL and they intended to help him achieve that.
Which is exactly what they did.
Binder 📒@Binder2019
🌵Tech fans- “ We stood by the Kid” 🌵Cody Campbell- “We will stand by the kid” 🌵 22min video- “we will get the kid the help he needs because we have integrity” 🫡 Tech after the Big 12 filed in Fed court - “See ya kid, get the Fook out” #TexasTech #TTU
English
@flatland_sports Well that settles it then
Hocutt: “As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility”
English
@flatland_sports If Texas Tech disagrees with a rule, we can safely assume it’s terrible for the sport
English
If the SEC and Big 10 agree on something, we can safely assume it's terrible for the sport.
Thanks for coming out coach 🤝
Coach Tommy Tuberville@SenTuberville
It’s hard to get the SEC and Big Ten to agree on anything… But these two powerful conferences agree that a federal takeover of college sports is NOT the answer.
English
@road_raiders Kick both tech and cincy out. One played a known degenerate gambler the other went on record saying he should still play despite being a degenerate gambler
English
Kick Cincinnati out Of The Big 12

@TTURedRaiders1 Texas Tech administrators felt Sorsby should STILL PLAY despite having full knowledge of his gambling
Fuck that. Burn both irrelevant shit schools to the ground
English
For 2 weeks, the media crucified Tech over conduct that happened elsewhere. Now that Cincy allegedly knew for years, kept playing him, and may have reported him only after he left, suddenly Sorsby alone is responsible?
Fuck that. Burn that irrelevant shit school to the ground.
John Kurtz@jlkurtz
Totally on board with a full investigation into what Cincy did or didn't know. Completely warranted. It's a good move from his agent to deflect here, but also, if anybody should be questioned or catching heat, it's his client.
English
Cincinnati is making itself look bad. Slipped info to try and bury Sorsby and Tech and implicated themselves just as much. Rookie mistake lol
Ari Temkin@arisports
Uh yeah, important context: Cincinnati is suing Sorsby for $1m in federal court for breach of contract. Slavin wants to make Cincinnati look bad here.
English
Is everybody who works in college athletic departments bad at comms?
Pete Nakos@PeteNakos
Cincinnati statement to @On3: "We will reiterate what we have said before. All of our student-athletes receive extensive gambling education multiple times throughout the year, and we would never knowingly play an athlete who violated NCAA sports wagering regulations. If we ever became aware of impermissible wagering, we would report to the NCAA and comply with sanctions." on3.com/news/brendan-s…
English
@EdwardPBertram And you’re saying fans who are saying Texas Tech admins were making TERRIBLE comments should be ashamed?
Do us a favor and get the hell out of the big 12. Nobody wants you anymore
English
@Cyclonefury01 You commented on my post, so you can get lost. We heard your cries for over a week as you all led a witch hunt to ruin a young man’s life for some stupid choices that harmed NO ONE when he was 18 & first away from home. You’re the ones who should be ashamed. Sincerely.
English
So we just gonna let this get walked back now so the school facing these allegations can proceed undisturbed with a QB playing under an injunction after the NCAA ruled him ineligible? Come on ppl, those pitchforks must still be handy; aren’t you outraged? … Of course you’re not.

NEW: Clemson's Dabo Swinney to @Clowfb on the Ole Miss tampering allegations involving Pete Golding and LB Luke Ferrelli: "I’m not trying to get anybody in trouble. It’s not about a certain player or anything like that. It’s more: Can we do this? Is this allowed? Can an NFL team right now call up the backup and say, ‘Hey, come on over here even though he’s got a contract?’ And so in our world, I think there just needs to be clarity of what we can and cannot do." on3.com/news/one-down-…
English
@EdwardPBertram Fuck off. Any school that had their athletic director say they don’t believe a player who gambled in their own team deserves a permanent ban is not a reputable university
Iowa State had this situation with their starting QB. They dismissed him IMMEDIATELY ($5 bet, too)
