@NatashaCL7 But have they created other people millionaires in the process over their 30+ years in office?

How many millionaires has Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren created in their lifetime?

@Clonestar85 @Flamingmunkey @RossDellenger @YahooSports Or it's because texas law requires him to, but sure, let's go with your delusion. Like you haven't been completely embarrassed this entire conversation. Someone needs to take your phone away and put on price is right at the nursing home.

@pvillerr @Flamingmunkey @RossDellenger @YahooSports The only one who doesn’t know why Paxton is supporting Tech is you. Campbell may be the largest donor to Paxton’s campaign. It isn’t going to matter though.

As Big 12 presidents consider sanctions, Texas Tech reps notified the league that any penalty will be met with legal action, sources tell @YahooSports.
Tech is exploring legal avenues with noted attorney Jeff Kessler, including seeking a second injunction

@Clonestar85 @Flamingmunkey @RossDellenger @YahooSports Sure. Easy for someone to write a letter when they have no skin in the game. Since the b12 is a private entity, why is he wasting the tax payer dollars of the citizens of OK? Dude's a wannabe and is no different than the lawyers here that don't know why Paxton is supporting Tech.

@pvillerr @Flamingmunkey @RossDellenger @YahooSports You are going to learn a hard lesson, sport.

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.

the stuff coming out of Lubbock over the last few days is some of the most hypocritical, arrogant, and disingenuous garbage to happen in cfb in a long while. and that bar is HIGH

@road_raiders Knowing our luck this will end in one of three ways
1. The fbi arrests him before a game
2. He gets injured at the worst possible moment.
3. We go deep into the CFP.

The best thing Joey can do at this point is love Brendan unconditionally, let him back into the program / team full time for as much as the full year, & help Brendan prep for the NFL. But not play a down for Tech in ‘26-27.
Either that, or burn the boats, and face the flames.

@biscuitsandsec Your whole conference is pathetic. Stop dreaming about us.
English
@pvillerr Bragging about lawyers is incredibly pathetic. My goodness man
English
The key question, unasked and unanswered, is if it’s not okay for other athletes to gamble on sports and play, why is it okay for Brendan Sorsby?

A message to the Texas Tech community from our leadership.

@pvillerr Texas Tech has does absolutely nothing of note on the football field. No one is jealous of your 23 point shutout playoff loss bro.
English
@carebearkieran I'll do you one better. Name me an athlete that has a court order that says he can play and didn't.

@pvillerr @WinterSportsLaw Maybe this battle. But you boys are gonna lose the war. No big boy conference. No cfp. These other schools and conferences know there are other ways to skin a cat. Good luck !
English
Texas AG v the Big 12.
I assume everyone wants to avoid that.
The letter claims potential exposure for the conference of more than $200M if it sanctions Texas Tech.
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.
English
@JFeuerbacher You can't punish Sorsby without punishing Tech. That's your flaw. I think the b12 lawyers talk with the presidents and they back down, just like the big10 did.
English
@pvillerr I saw it as if there were sanction/collusion against tech. Tech letting Sorsby have his day in court and shifting the onus to the court order was smart. If the Big 12 punishes Sorsby not tech and tech gets involved, I believe that to be a dangerous road. If it gets to that idk.
English
So is tech’s official stance that Sorsby is being supported by the university, but they weren’t involved in his litigation for eligibility, but will sue over any further consequences to him or the school? What if the Big 12 penalizes Sorsby, not tech? I’m sure they’ll sue right?
English
@MrGoodBerger @slmandel He was asked about it and spoke about it. There's your interaction. Nothing says it has to be in depth.
English
Friendly reminder, he himself voted to rescind the NCAA policy change last year that would have allowed athletes to legally bet on pro sports.
Trey Wallace@TreyWallace
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…
English
@pvillerr @WinterSportsLaw Don’t matter. He abused the rule. You guys spinning is hilarious. Read the room.
English
@JFeuerbacher You asked if tech would be further involved. The answer is yes, because that action would harm the university. The texas AG has already laid out the groundwork for what we believe the harms would result in.
English
@pvillerr Are you incapable of an honest conversation due to your bias? Very defensive I haven’t even said where I stand brother.
English
@ptd008 @WinterSportsLaw No facts, just delusions. Do you have any evidence he bet on those games? No? Then you don't have any facts. The NCAA has agreed his betting had no impact on the games.
English
@pvillerr @WinterSportsLaw Conspiracy 😂😂😂. Nope just facts. You guys are fucking the other 104 kids on your team. What a circus.

English
@MrGoodBerger @slmandel All I said was he discussed that he voted for it. You seem to agree.
English
@pvillerr @slmandel I watched it twice. The whole thing. You are lying. This was his paraphrased answer “Yes, we voted not to permit gambling by our student athletes, but there is a stigma around whether sports gambling is a mental health disorder.”
He doesn't want the well known consequences.
English
@JFeuerbacher How do you rule one of our players ineligible, violate a court order, and think it doesn't damage the university?
English
@pvillerr I’ve seen some league bylaws that are vague but seem like the big 12 may have ground to potentially suspend or render Sorsby ineligible. If they do so without “sanctioning or punishing” tech, would they get further involved? Right now they seem to be toeing that line.
