@TylersTakes This would be incorrect as well. He's a retired judge from Tarrant County. And the process after the first judge recused himself was that he was assigned the case by a A&M undergrad/Baylor Law graduate.

-Texas Tech pays $5 million dollars for an in-conference transfer QB
-QB gets caught betting on his former team while he was on the roster
-Texas Tech finds alumni judge
-QB remains eligible.
College Football in 2026.
The sicko in me kinda likes it. Not really, but kinda.

@Carson_OKC Itโs how you play the judicial system. The NCAA could put Tech on probation this season if they play Sorsby and then fight it out in court.
English
"A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas..."
What are we doing?
ESPN@espn
Sorsby had been ruled ineligible by the NCAA earlier this year after he acknowledged gambling on sports, including on his own team while at Indiana. More: espn.com/college-footbaโฆ

@GaryParrishCBS @Juz_10 What...what are you accusing us of? There's been no pressure on this guy for the past 3 weeks he's been assigned the case.
English
@Juz_10 Like I said, the judge's address would've been on a Texas Tech message board hours ago if he'd ruled a different way. It's much easier for his life to just rule the way he ruled. Suggesting otherwise is obviously dumb/gullible/stupid.
English
I usually like it when the NCAA loses in court.
But today felt different.
We all decided a long time ago that gambling on the sport you play should be a career-ender. But Brendan Sorsby, some great lawyers and a judge facing community pressure just said otherwise. Not great.
English
@GaryParrishCBS That judge wasn't feeling any community pressure. He's a retired judge 300 miles away in Tarrant County. Selected by a Baylor and A&M Law grad after the Lubbock County judge recused himself.

@Josh_Furlong He's got to stop doing the cop out of the tie rankings.

@ChadAlexander2 @Okla_OAG To be clear, this was your initial comment:
"if players can bet on games they play In"
Sorsby never bet on any games he played in.
English
I'm outraged at a court's decision to unilaterally reinstate a star player for the Texas Tech football program and set a horrific precedent in a case involving serial betting on his own team. Rules exist for a reason, and this player clearly violated reasonable standards instituted by the NCAA. sports.yahoo.com/college-footbaโฆ
English
@ChadAlexander2 @Okla_OAG I agree. They should pass the bill currently in the Senate.
English
As with many around the country, I am disheartened by the injunction issued today in the Brendan Sorsby matter, which will allow him to compete this fall despite clear violations of NCAA policies and ethical guidelines.

NEWS: Big Ten officials are expected to discuss in the upcoming days a league-wide mandate to not play Texas Tech in any sports, per three Big Ten sources. This is in the wake of Nebraska AD Troy Dannen informing his staff today that they aren't allowed to schedule Texas Tech.
English
@ChadAlexander2 @Okla_OAG Agreed. Of course, the player in question did not bet on any games he played in.
English
@Okla_OAG This will destroy college football if players can bet on games they play In. Smh

@grok, how many @GeorgiaFootball players have been arrested in the last year? si.com/college/georgiโฆ

@Ashncoll @RedRaiderAbe The Georgia scheduling news was already out when Cody sent that so, yes, he was.
English
@Otto342 @RedRaiderAbe He wasnโt. Read the rest of the comments.
English
The arrest at UGA are in no way excusable. At all. The difference is youโd NEVER see someone affiliated with the University of Georgia tweet about another program in an attempt to deflect from their own wrongdoings. I guess oil money buys everything except accountability.

@Ashncoll @RedRaiderAbe I believe Cody was responding to your AD saying no UGA sport will play TT.
By your rules, all is fair after shots are fired.
English
@RedRaiderAbe Itโs ironic that you believe thatโs the same thing. And all is fair after shots are fired. ๐ฅฐ Again, even the fans are deflecting.
English
@JackTriceMafia Thank you for being able to see the forest through the trees.

Sorsby being eligible is dumb but SEC and Big Ten parties clutching their pearls about Texas Tech killing college football is very rich and ~totally~not a deliberate overreaction to take the spotlight away from them being the villains.
English
Technically speaking, I think the ncaa could still vacate their wins or invalidate any results Texas tech has that sorsby plays in. Which might be the move here. Whatโs the point in letting a guy play if your wins donโt count anyway
ESPN@espn
Breaking: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. Heโs set to be eligible for the 2026 season. Sorsby cannot play in Texas Tech's first two games, which was the penalty his legal team suggested to the NCAA.
