@Tb12goat1991 We have been honest for many years. That’s the reason we could not compete! Careful, the NCAA might further investigate the two players that were gambling on their own games. Glass Houses. You guys are experienced at under the table! Tech has much higher morals. Wreck Em Tech!

Tech fans are honestly slow and they can't understand there school is just not that good at anything but hey they can get on here and pretend right
Cameron Dole@CameronDole

I’m going to say the part everybody keeps trying to smother with soft lighting and school-colored spin: This Texas Tech defense of Brendan Sorsby is not noble. It is not brave. It is not some deeply moving stand for second chances. It is a beautifully produced excuse factory with a quarterback depth chart attached. And I’m sorry, but some of us still remember when gambling was the one line sports absolutely, positively did not let you tap dance across. Baseball knew it. Basketball knew it. Football knew it. College athletics knew it. Every athlete who has ever sat through a compliance meeting knows it. You do not bet on games. You certainly do not bet on games connected to your own program. That is not complicated. That is not hidden in fine print. That is not some NCAA mystery written in invisible ink and stored behind a locked filing cabinet in Indianapolis. That is Day One stuff. That is “don’t touch the stove” stuff. That is “the bridge is out” stuff. And now Texas Tech wants everyone to gather around, dab our eyes, admire the production quality, and pretend this is really about compassion? No. Compassion is helping Brendan Sorsby get well. Compassion is making sure he has treatment, accountability, support, and people around him who care more about his soul than his stat line. Compassion is not pretending the rulebook suddenly caught a stomach virus because the quarterback room got uncomfortable. That’s not grace. That’s roster management wearing a halo. And that’s where this whole thing starts smelling like a booster-club candle called “Selective Accountability.” Because let’s be painfully honest. If this were a third-string offensive guard from a school ESPN only mentions during weather delays, there would be no emotional video. No moral campaign. No carefully scripted institutional defense. No dramatic music. No “we stand with our guy” tour. There would be a violation. There would be a consequence. There would be silence. But because it’s a quarterback who can help win games, suddenly the red line needs context, therapy lighting, and a legal team. Nope. Wrong. Try again. Sports cannot survive if gambling violations become public-relations projects. The integrity of the game cannot depend on how many boosters are nervous. Rules cannot only apply to the guys who are not talented enough to become inconvenient. And second chances do not have to include first-team reps. I hope Brendan Sorsby gets help. Truly. I hope he heals. I hope he grows. I hope five years from now this is a painful chapter in a much better story. But he does not need NCAA eligibility to become whole. He does not need a starting job to be supported. He does not need the rest of college football to pretend that a clear line was suddenly blurry just because Texas Tech found a camera crew and a sympathetic script. Sometimes love tells the truth. Sometimes support still says no. Sometimes consequences are not cruelty. And sometimes the most compassionate thing anyone can do is stop treating accountability like it’s a disease we need to cure. You crossed the line. Now the line has to matter. #BrendanSorsby #TexasTech #NCAA #CollegeFootball #SportsBetting #SportsIntegrity #AccountabilityMatters #PersonalResponsibility #CollegeFootballNews #NCAAFootball #CameronDole @espn @TexasTech @TexasTechFB @TechAthletics @Big12Conference

@DouglasTS @TrutherTTU @CharlieBakerMA Go research The Longhorn’s gambling issues. Where is the outrage there! And they bet on their football team while playing. Something Sorsby hasn’t done!

@TrutherTTU @CharlieBakerMA Gambling on your team has no comparison to any other type of eligibility case. None. Echoing your hero’s pathetic attempts to create a false equivalence are transparent and self serving

The Sorsby decision was never about only one student-athlete. We are already seeing downhill effects in other eligibility cases in which state courts are allowing student-athletes to circumvent longstanding eligibility rules, citing Sorsby outcome as part of the court’s precedent. Another example of why we need Congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act, authorizing the association to apply common sense eligibility rules consistently for all student-athletes and schools, regardless of the state or local court system.

@LifeofFitz @davidfloyd1980 You guys better boycott The Longhorns, OU and others as gambling is rampant. I bet if you look there are kids at KState that gambled. I have a soft place for KState as both my parents graduated from there. But you guys are lost now.

The NCAA should offer the Texas Tech players a special portal window. Maybe they’re all fine playing with a gambler who may choose to throw an incompletion to hit the under on a prop bet, but if not, they should have a chance to leave. These are truly special circumstances.

NEWS: Texas Tech and HC Joey McGuire have agreed in principle to a new 5-year, $67.5 million deal, sources tell me. The deal makes him the highest paid coach in the country, averaging $13.5 million per year.

@Okla_OAG Go talk to your Longhorn buddies. Two players, 1 with the name Manning was caught gambling “on the Longhorns” & it was swept under the table. Go read the Austin American Statesman article! You haven’t heard the Longhorns & the Sooners say shit because their house isn’t in order!

@Bourbonman112 @On3 Curry is not a Lubbock County Judge. Ken Curry did not practice law in Lubbock County; he is a retired judge from Tarrant County. He was assigned to the Sorsby case in Lubbock but has no reported link to practicing law there.

@On3 So if a Lubbock judge ruled him eligible. When they play say Baylor, could a Waco judge rule him ineligible?

@RCMB323 Texas Tech has just made themselves a true Villain. As much as I would love to see a national championship I don’t think they can win now whether Sorsby plays or not. Sorsby clearly knew the rules! He broke them! Many colleges police themselves and Tech use to be one of them.

Another great take from @daniellelawrie5. It was heated and spicy -it’s okay to just walk away instead of risking an altercation (verbal or physical).
