Private Equity will get their cash back. Read the article and you can put two and two together. They are allowing teams to Leverage a TV deal that doesn’t exist for upfront money. When that new deal Potentially comes along they will be there with their hands out to get their cash back plus interest. That’s 100% going to happen.

The Big 12 just approved a five-year deal with RedBird Capital Partners, and I want you to understand what that actually means. It’s being framed as a “business partnership.” No ownership stake. No operational control. Just a friendly capital infusion and some help finding new revenue streams. Private equity doesn’t invest in things they don’t control. They don’t need an ownership stake when they have something better, debt obligation and revenue dependency. The deal includes a school-level credit line of up to $30 million per institution. Cash-strapped programs will take that money. And when the projected revenue doesn’t materialize on RedBird’s timeline, those schools will have a private equity firm’s hand in their annual distributions. Here’s the part nobody’s talking about, RedBird negotiated a non-compete clause. They won’t partner with any other power conference in a commercial capacity. That wasn’t done to protect the Big 12. That was done to protect RedBird’s investment and lock in their leverage. Private capital has one obligation: return on investment. Not the health of the sport. Not competitive integrity. Not the student-athlete experience. ROI. Every time we let another financial interest sink its teeth into college athletics, we move further away from what made this sport worth caring about in the first place. And we never seem to find our way back.

NEWS: Big 12 board voted to authorize the deal between the conference and RedBird Capital. Weatherford Capital also part of deal. It includes business relationship, $12.5M capital infusion in the league + opportunity for school-specific capital infusion frontofficesports.com/big-12-preside…

@Caraway6 Ok, this is an opinion that could potentially and more than likely will be true, but right now we’re not 100% sure.

@Nickisbackbaby The answer here is obvious. Yes he had a few things that may have tarnished his reputation but wrestling wouldn’t be what it is today without Hulk. The funner question would be who’s second?

Every male child went through a WWF/WWE wrestling phase when they were growing up. So I will ask who was the GOAT? Andre the Giant Hulk Hogan Rick Flare Ultimate Warrior Macho Man Randy Savage Stone Cold Brett Hart The Rock The Undertaker.............heaps of others?

Texas has ALREADY appealed & halted this flawed ruling. The Meadow (Epic City) is also subject to other legal action by the state. And, there are active investigations by State agencies and by the federal government. This development will never see the light of day.
Amy Mek@AmyMek

🚨 BREAKING TEXAS - EPIC CITY UPDATE…. Red-Green Alliance in action A Democrat judge in deep-blue Travis County just handed a legal victory to the developers of the controversial Sharia-centric project formerly known as EPIC City - now quietly rebranded as “The Meadow.” Travis County District Judge Amy Clark Meachum, a Democrat elected in one of Texas’s most liberal strongholds, ruled yesterday that the Texas Workforce Commission must honor a settlement agreement and back off its fair housing scrutiny of the 402-acre development tied to the East Plano Islamic Center. This is exactly how it works: Blue enclaves inside a red state produce activist Democrat judges who override Republican Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and state agencies trying to enforce the law on a project that was openly marketed as the future “epicenter of Islam in America.” They rebrand it to sound harmless. They lawfare their way through the system. And blue judges help push it through while the rest of Texas is left to deal with the consequences. This is not the end of the story. The fight is far from over: • AG Ken Paxton has multiple active lawsuits against them, including securities fraud and illegal maneuvers with their municipal utility district. • Hunt County has already rejected their preliminary plat. • Court injunctions are still blocking their utility schemes. • The federal HUD investigation into religious and national-origin discrimination remains ongoing. • The state is immediately appealing this ruling. This is what happens when red states tolerate blue judicial islands and activist Democrat judges. Parallel societies and faith-specific enclaves don’t appear overnight, they are built one ruling at a time while conservatives look the other way. Texas, we cannot allow imported Islamic enclaves and blue strongholds to carve up the state and undermine our sovereignty. Texas sovereignty is not negotiable.

So youre telling me this guy went to games with his boys, got drunk, and bet pennies on balls/strikes? This is a huge fucking nothing-burger. Guy likes to have some fun. Doesn't sound like a concern at all. Am I missing something?

NEW: Sources who have reviewed the betting data told @PeteNakos that, dating back to 2022, Brendan Sorsby placed more than 10k wagers and at one point averaged 20 bets per day. Sorsby placed bets across multiple states, using a range of gambling apps. on3.com/news/texas-tec…

I don't understand why smartphones were ever allowed in schools in the first place. We weren't even allowed to take out a graphing calculator outside of very specific math or science classes. Did everyone just give up on rules and decorum at some point

@AriWasserman Ok but the question nobody is actually answering is did Cincinnati know this before last season started. It’s reported that’s a yes. They didn’t disclose it to the NCAA which ultimately led to Tech getting this kid unaware of his issues. Tech should be allowed to get a QB

@MattHayesCFB @usatodaysports If this is proven to be true would Tech face the 6 game suspension for a head coach to go get another QB? If tech was duped into this they shouldn’t be held accountable

@AmandaMAtwell Again tell the whole truth. The 1,000 of bets weren’t all NCAA. From the reporting the only NCAA bet he made one time was in 2022 as a redshirt on a game he didn’t play in. Facts matter here.

I hate this argument. It’s like blaming beer ads on underaged drinking or alcoholism/drunk driving. Have to have some self responsibility & know what’s at stake. I hope Sorsby gets the help he needs but placing 1000s of bets is telling. He knew the NCAA rules.
John Kurtz@jlkurtz

Sports gambling is everywhere now. On TV. In apps. In your group chats. In the broadcasts themselves. So should the NCAA end a college quarterback’s career for getting caught in the same world everyone else helped normalize? (Link in replies)

Obviously this is very “wah I’m only mad because it affects my team”, but why is betting on games you didn’t even play in a problem? I fully understand you 100% can’t bet on games you play in, but how does this affect anything…?

@RossDellenger @YahooSports Here’s the other point too is this new NCAA policy on betting was revamped in 2023. His bet at Indiana was in 2022. Again he didn’t play in that game. Wasn’t even considered to play in that game.

Brendan Sorsby’s eligibility is at risk. Based on precedent and policy, the NCAA stands to permanently ban him. But questions linger. What are the next steps in the process? Will this end in court? And did Cincinnati know? A @YahooSports analysis bit.ly/4mTsvOW

@zylerbuchanan People really need to tell the whole truth. He didn’t play in that Indiana game. People are conflating “thousands of bets” of other sports with his one bet at an Indiana game he didn’t even play in or even was considered to play in.

So let me get this straight, a guy has a gambling problem for 4 years, but it only comes out from a non-NCAA investigation as soon as he gets to Texas Tech? Weird stuff man. Hope Sorsby figures it out, he definitely won’t be taking snaps in a Texas Tech jersey

@flatland_sports This makes the most sense to me. People keep saying thousands of bets but betting on MLB is irrelevant to the NCAA. Cincinnati definitely knew this information and conveniently let this out in perfect timing

The NCAA is going to screw him and Texas Tech but this is absolutely stupid. He only bet on Indiana to win and he didn't bet on a single game that he played in. The purpose of these anti gambling rules is to discourage athletes from throwing games and nothing about Sorsby's betting habits would have been a conflict of interest for Indiana.
On3@On3

On3's @PeteNakos confirms that Brendan Sorsby placed bets on Indiana while on the Hoosiers' roster in 2022. Sorsby did not appear in any game he bet on that season. on3.com/news/texas-tec…
