@pencerm @DanIsett Look at Cincinnati fan, you'll continue to be disappointed, Tech isn't going anywhere bub.

@DanIsett Cody Campbell eventually turning your football program into dust will hit so hard

11 and 1 without Sorsby ever hitting the field it's going to hit so hard.

@DanIsett 12'0 Dan, haven't you heard, Tech doesn't play anyone.

@NotaBurnerr007 @KendallRogers @USC_Baseball Buying, not building!

@Eis4bingearnest @Blain_Crain Conference champion = automatic bid

@Blain_Crain Maybe the cfp committee say we’re not inviting them period. What rule is there that the committee has to let TT in?!

Can the Brennan Sorsby era at Texas Tech end in a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP?🏆

@geaux_lets @On3 @PeteNakos Research the mistrial and if the victim and his family wanted another trial. Its hard to get a conviction with no witnesses. Does it suck, yes Hoffman deserved to pay. The judicial system is far from perfect, sometimes the guilty walk.

@kenneth7davis @On3 @PeteNakos Not liberal I’m an independent and have a brain. Unlike you. You’re right it’s worse. They didn’t convict him so probably doesn’t even have to register as a sex offender. Watch your 7 kids Kenneth! Ken and his buddies have a blue pill waiting for when they get the chance.

NEW: Texas AG Ken Paxton sent a formal letter to Big 12 officials threatening legal action if the conference moves to sanction Texas Tech over its support of QB Brendan Sorsby. (via @PeteNakos) on3.com/news/big-12-th…

Yes, I'd feel the same way. I'm on record saying he should be out. Don't worry, most fan bases will face a student athlete betting. Between NIL, draft kings and poly markets constant bombardment of in your face ads a lot of kids are going to do it. I'll also say, there are more cases out there, Sorsby isn't the only one.

Honest question for Texas Tech: "Would they feel the same way if it was someone else's star quarterback?" Honest question for those criticizing Texas Tech: "Would they feel the same way if it was their team's star quarterback?" Those answers would tell a lot. #Sorsby

@geaux_lets @On3 @PeteNakos That's not true. Then again when have liberal democrats cared about the truth.

@On3 @PeteNakos This is the guy who let a convicted pedophile sentenced to 30 years out after 30 days? 😂

@RussTaylorPhD @coachvint @mrlongshore Tell the judge!

@kenneth7davis @coachvint @mrlongshore Nobody has a “right” to play football

I understand why people are uncomfortable with the Brendan Sorsby situation. Betting on sports as a college athlete is serious. Betting connected to your own team creates an obvious integrity concern. Nobody has to minimize that. But there is another side to this that college football people should at least be honest enough to acknowledge. When a player becomes part of your program, he becomes part of your football family. That does not mean you excuse everything. It does not mean accountability disappears. It means you do not abandon him the second the situation becomes difficult, public, or uncomfortable. There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake. Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity. But now the court has ruled that he is legally allowed to play. That changes the structure of the decision. If Texas Tech turns its back on him now, what message does that send to every player and family they recruit? That we will fight for you until the pressure gets too loud? That we will call you family when you are producing, but distance ourselves when standing beside you becomes inconvenient? If I were recruiting against Texas Tech and they abandoned him after he was legally cleared to play, I would use that every time. Not because the mistake does not matter, but because trust matters. Families want to know what happens when their son is injured, struggling, accused, embarrassed, or sitting in the middle of a situation nobody wants attached to the program. Accountability and loyalty are not opposites. You can believe justice should be served. You can believe the integrity of the game matters. You can believe gambling violations deserve real consequence. You can also believe that a program should stand by its people through the full process, not just through the easy parts. That is the hard part of family. You do not only fight for your people when the optics are clean. You fight for them through the good and the bad, while still demanding accountability, treatment, discipline, and truth. Texas Tech may not like the position it is in. Most programs would not. But once he is legally allowed to play and remains part of the Red Raider family, abandoning him strictly because of social pressure would send its own message. And that message may be harder to overcome than the controversy itself.

@flugempire Has Tech played him? Has Tech said they would? No and No

Texas Tech should support the young man. Texas Tech should not play the young man. Texas Tech has the ability to do both. Anything beyond that is an excuse not to do the right thing.

@JOBuras How is Tech blatantly ignoring the ncaa? Tech didnt have anything to do with the injunction. No, Tech officials have said he will play.

The fact that they are continuing their PR campaign to say they “didn’t” do anything, but blatantly ignoring the NCAA rules to which they belong, might be the most damaging part. They don’t realize what this is going to do to them and their reputation. But hey, if they don’t car, so be it.

@TreyWallace Months ago? No one except Cincinnati knew months ago.

Texas Tech cannot play the victim in Brendan Sorsby saga, it could’ve dealt with PR mess months ago “If this was the second-string running back or offensive lineman, I would think Texas Tech would not want to deal with the hassle”-P4 AD foxnews.com/outkick-sports…

@pass_blind @EricTaylor415 So, are you mad at Indiana and Cincinnati?

@EricTaylor415 No, that’s not it I have an issue with any player that bets on their games playing Why should he play in the nfl but not college Tech paying him doesn’t matter.

If Brendon Sorsby had accepted the consequences of his actions and gone to the NFL, none of this would be news. Texas Tech gave him 5 million reason to reconsider, and decided they would circumvent those consequences. That's what people have a problem with.

@EricTaylor415 4 million, not 5. He filed the suit not TTU. A judge said he could play, not Tech. No one from Tech has said he will play.

The majority of TTU fans don't want him to play. The misinformation like, "a guy betting on hundreds of games" isn't true. He bet on games while redshirting at Indiana. Less than 40, 0 while playing. Does that make it right, no. The amount of bs from sports journalist and keyboard warriors is ridiculous. People should be talking about Indiana, where it happened or Cincinnati who knew and still played him.

@mrlongshore I disagree on Texas Tech fighting for him to be able to play this year. You have to have values as a program where you set and uphold standards. If you need else someone to tell you not to play a guy for betting on hundreds of games, you might need to look inside yourself.

@RussTaylorPhD @coachvint @mrlongshore The judge said he has the right. No one from TTU has said he will. They only reiterated they'll stand by and support him. I guessing you don't care about the facts.

@kenneth7davis @coachvint @mrlongshore Sorsby doesn’t have a right to play football. If TT decides not to play him he can’t force them to otherwise where does it end? Can anyone else just force their way onto a team by threatening a lawsuit? That would be ridiculous but it’s what you’re suggesting.

@TomMarsLaw Tom, what about Cincinnati? They knew!

A super majority of the Big 12 directors (schools) already have almost unlimited discretion to sanction Texas Tech. What’s more, they also have the authority to amend the Big 12 Bylaws at any time to specifically require the immediate suspension or dismissal of any school which knowingly plays an athlete who has admitted to placing bets on his own team.

@guardidoc @finebaum Listen to all 9 minutes, not the 5 second clip from Finebaum. No one from TTU has said Sorsby will play. Tech suspended him, the judge made a ruling in a suit TTU had no part of.

This kills me because I like Joey a lot! It’s hard for me to understand why he doesn’t see why he thinks it’s appropriate to let Sorsby play. I can only think that his bias and desire to win is clouding his judgement. I’m glad he loves his players but I wonder how much love he’d have for him if he knew Sorsby had this problem before he recruited him

"It's crazy...because it's not murder, it's not beating somebody..." Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire defends his QB Brendan Sorsby, who's under fire for gambling on his own team's football games:

@TimBinTB @finebaum He bet on zero games he played in.

@finebaum There is no reasonable defense for a player, who has bet on his own team’s games!! Can we just call it for what it is; a degenerate gambler who went so far as to bet over $90k on sporting events (some of which he was a part of)!! It’s unacceptable, period, end of story

@Running_Ryan @SnapAgainThanos His rehab isn't 30 days. His electronics and finances are being monitored. If he gambled again his nfl career is over.

@SnapAgainThanos Sorsby is an addict and 30 days rehab won’t cure him. Pass the rule now. It is likely he will break it later and many will be willing to expose him.

Proposed Big 12 rule: "Any school that knowingly plays an athlete that's bet on their own team shall forfeit the games they play in." The Big 12 doesn't need to cancel games or try to stop Sorsby from playing. They just need to establish consequences for this situation

@ProxyPatri14100 @DanWolken @EWErickson Tech suspended him when his gambling came to light. A Texas judge kept him on the payroll. Question, are you pissed at Indiana and Cincinnati?

@DanWolken @EWErickson It’s because Pete Rose, one of the greatest of all time baseball players, was caught betting on games (supposedly according to Pete not on his team) he was banned from baseball for life. This coach’s ethics suck and so does Tech for keeping him on the payroll.

Do people at Texas Tech think the rest of America is stupid? I’m honestly at a loss to find an explanation for a PR strategy this bad. Holy moly.
