@AmandaMAtwell @jonkappes1985 Yeah reading is important, only the staff was fired the students were cleared to play. One left, the other stayed with Texas.

Didn’t they literally vote against allowing students to gamble on pro sports a few months ago 😂 the hypocrisy is just so insane at this point.

Texas Tech Pres. Lawrence Schovanec, on NCAA gambling rules (Brendan Sorsby) “I think we have to recognize the rules in place now we’re made long before there were millions of young people walking around with a legal gambling apparatus in their pocket” Sorsby bet on Indiana football, basketball and Cincinnati hoops…

@derrico_henrio I thought rules were rules?!?!? Are you saying some rules don’t matter or injunctions should be allowed in some cases? If yes, who decides? A judge perhaps?
English
Yeah a guy who missed multiple season due to injury is the exact same thing as a guy who used inside information to bet game props

We have officially crossed the rubicon. Texas Tech should REFUSE to play Clemson in any sport. And while we’re at it, the ACC should take immediate action against Clemson.

@DesertClone Your right Matt Campbell would never be associated with a program that has been caught doing something heinous. Where did he go to recently?
English
I can 100% assure you, Matt Campbell would not have played Dekkers or any of the other athletes who got popped.

Fact: Most schools would do the same thing that Texas Tech is doing Lie: Texas Tech is the victim here

@swess_ball The need to google the facts of the case first. Oklahoma AG has no clue what actual happened and he proved it in writing
English
Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, West Virginia, and Florida Attorney Generals need to follow
Johnathon Hayes KFOR@JohnHayesNews
#BREAKING: Okla. Attorney General Gentner Drummond is asking the Big 12 to sanction Texas Tech following the Brendan Sorsby gambling fallout. “My office stands ready to assist the Big 12 if Texas Tech's leadership attempts to punish the Conference for doing the right thing.”

@Tiger__Vibes Sometimes it takes a group of 5 people to be this retarded. LSU is just extra special

@JohnHayesNews Wow, the Oklahoma state AG wrote a whole letter and proved himself to be ignorant of the actual facts in the case. Par for the course in Oklahoma I’m sure

I get why Tech feels how they do because they are on the hook for the money but reality is I almost feel like they should have to just pay him and sit him since they apparently failed to properly vet him.

Texas Tech has won in a court of law. It's losing badly in the court of public opinion -- and it's only making things worse with its P.R. strategy. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

Dan Wetzel@DanWetzel
Everyone wants Texas Tech to “do the right thing.” This is college sports, when has that ever been a thing? Focus on ending judicial interference rather than bash the Red Raiders for doing what almost everyone else would do (or has done). Column for @espn espn.com/college-footba…
ZXX
Has the Big 12 EVER been this united before? 🙌🏼
Arizona 🤝 Arizona State 🤝 Baylor 🤝 Cincinnati 🤝 Colorado 🤝 Houston 🤝 Iowa State 🤝 Kansas 🤝 Kansas State 🤝 Oklahoma State 🤝 TCU 🤝 UCF 🤝 Utah 🤝 West Virginia
Fourteen schools.
One conference.
One message.
English
Prohibet notifies the school and conference any time there is an alert. Cincinnati handled it exactly by the book. Unfortunately Sorsby lied and deceived the compliance department when confronted.
Curious. Why didn't Tech know he was committing federal wire fraud?
Jon Kappes@jonkappes1985
@ChadBrendel So Cincinnati was alerted to his gambling but didn’t report it to the NCAA, but it’s ok? That’s your take?

@hakeemjeffries Your right! Only an asshole would use their political office to try and influence the judiciary! Oh, wait…
English
So let me get this straight.
The corrupt, impeached and criminally-indicted Texas Attorney General is vouching for the integrity of the Texas Tech football program.
Maybe they should find a better character witness.
Ross Dellenger@RossDellenger
The Texas Attorney General sent a formal letter to the Big 12 today alerting the conference that Texas Tech would take action against any league sanction.

@mrjoshuaperry Yes dummy! AI will change academia just like it will change business, only ivory towers will feel it far more violently
English
I’d love to hear his take on academic dishonesty in the AI age. Let’s say it’s discovered a student repeatedly (like their whole academic career) uses AI to write term papers, when its use is prohibited. Would a university pres really say “well times have changed” and move on?

@KSUWindbreaker Kstate wants to talk about on the field performance?!?!?

“Separates from the pack”
They won their first ever Big 12 title despite being a founding member of the conference and did far worse in the playoff than the previous year’s Big 12 champion Arizona State
On3@On3
NEW: Texas Tech gave commissioner Brett Yormark exactly what he asked for — a Big 12 team that separates from the pack🌵 Now, several Big 12 programs are calling for the conference to take action against the Red Raiders. (via @AndyStaples) Story: on3.com/news/commissio…

@THEKingBuckeye Big words from someone that has actual legal authority to regulate OU’s long history of abuses, yet has failed to exercise them in any meaningful way.
Ken Paxton maybe an asshole, but he’s a FAFO kinda asshole. Bring it Okies
English
I told you yesterday that bullshit letter from ken. Paxton wasn’t gonna deter a damn thing.
Texas Tech fans have get this through their fucking skulls THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
You are not dealing with the NCAA anymore this is a completely different level and until y’all face the reality that the only way this is going to stop this is if Texas Tech releases a statement saying Brendan Sorsby will not be playing football this season
Until then be prepared to continue to get what you got coming!!!
Pete Thamel@PeteThamel
NEWS: The Oklahoma Attorney General's office issued a rebuttal letter to the Texas AG's office's letter to the Big 12. Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond says that the idea that Big 12 may not sanction its members is “facially absurd” and says Texas Tech’s actions have “constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football.” Per me and @max_olson.
English
One of the most comical narratives from the Sorsby mess is TT acting like they care about his mental health
You care about winning and you think he’s your best chance. Just say that. If this was a 3rd string DB they would have been kicked off the team and forgotten
Brennan Baxter@BrennanBaxt
It’s becoming clear that any school other than Texas Tech couldn’t care less about the mental health of their student athletes.
English
@derekeagleton Bro, you work for Jerry Jones. Please continue to lecture the rest of us about self-serving behavior!
English
Really caring about mental health would focus on rehabilitation. Focusing on getting back on the field is self-serving. Clearly Tech is more focused on the latter.
