@ArtHains @RedRaiderSports It lost it decades ago man

If Brandon Sorsby steps onto a CFB field again, the sport has lost all credibility. He found a local fan/judge who ruled in his favor. CFP should declare @RedRaiderSports ineligible for playoff and schools refuse to play them. I used to like Tech but they will be a pariah.

@TheWildUte They are gonna keep being awesome! Wreck em!!

A message from the college sports community to Texas Tech leadership. Resign.

@GKotal22945 @HisShadow45 @Loose_bets He gets it!

@HisShadow45 @Loose_bets Ncaa has acted within the scope of their bylaws and have been told repeatedly theyre unenforceable. Big12 is no different.

This is so absurd. If I’m a big 12 AD I call the bluff and tell Ken to bring it

@HisShadow45 @Loose_bets Hey what was the deal with the Morgan Scalley texting scandal?

@mark_rinne @Loose_bets Man Tech fans are delusional. You guys have taken all heat off Ute fans and I for one am grateful.

@HisShadow45 @Loose_bets Something like that

@JoshyManningEsq Wreck Em Tech!

Of course, the nastiest guy siding with the nastiest program.

@ChrisGordy Welcome to court football folks!

“Mr. Sorsby will hold the Big 12 and its members fully accountable for their actions." How about holding Mr. Sorsby fully accountable for his actions???

@HisShadow45 @Loose_bets And then get sued for 250,000,000 it's all for show, If Sorsby doesn't play in the fall after the 2 game suspension its because he went the supplemental draft route.

@Loose_bets If the Big 12 acts within the scope of their bylaws, there's nothing the State can do much about. It's contract law.

@Loose_bets lol Everybody pretending to have morals now smh

@silentra1der @UT4x_champs Dang, just went for the nuke!

@UT4x_champs And tech would skullfuck all of those teams between the lines where it matters🤣

List of some schools that have a bigger stadium than Texas Tech….. this is embarrassing for Tech. Illinois Louisville UTSA Mississippi State Purdue Virginia Iowa State Cal BYU Iowa

@john9williams Unbiased sooner!

Everyone thought Oklahoma and Texas killed the Big 12. When in reality, it’s going to be Texas Tech.

@CSGLonghorns That hypothetically fair

@mark_rinne I’ll hypothetically watch a hypothetical

Notice how it’s only the cool teams on this list and then Texas Tech

I refuse to believe that Joey McGuire is this stupid. So he really would rather burn the whole sport to the ground if it benefits him for a couple games. It's unbelievable.

@JarheadFrog Man he looks good in the unis

Imagine being a Power 4 Quarterback, college student, serial gambling addict, and a piece of shit. If Texas Tech is serious about supporting his "recovery" they need to reduce his workload so that he can focus on recovery. Playing football is a distraction to his recovery.

kick Tech out of the Big 12 and relegate them to the American.

@Exporter85 @rcb05

@rcb05 I understand it’s “real” but it’s not near serious as Joey is making it out to be….hes playing the pity card and it’s bullshit.

I’m begging someone to teach the Red Raiders the difference between morals and ethics.

@CSGLonghorns Texas V Texas Tech in the playoffs?

@mark_rinne Honestly no I probably won’t be🤣🤣

@ASU_SuperFan @PHNX_SunDevils @Anthony_Totri @ErikRuby @PHNX_Sports @FreckledMamba You sir have a function Pre -frontal cortex!

@PHNX_SunDevils @Anthony_Totri @ErikRuby @PHNX_Sports @FreckledMamba No, you don’t abstain from playing a team because you don’t like a ruling a judge made in their favor (which still has some possibility of being overturned).

Should Big 12 teams opt out of playing Texas Tech? Several P4 conferences are discussing how to approach the Brendan Sorsby situation, with real discussion to avoid playing the Red Raiders. What will Arizona State do? 🤔

@mrlongshore Absolutely dead right BUUUUTT people just want to hate Tech

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.

@spursfan746 @BryanDFischer @westtexastough Ding, Ding, Ding

@BryanDFischer @westtexastough Cfp rules puts in all power 4 conference champs based on their current rules. They would have to violate their own rules. Texas tech could sue on those grounds and win if they win their conference. Wouldnt be right away but cfp would likely have to pay them

Everybody in college sports is pissed about Sorsby and Texas Tech. There's an easy solution: for the CFP to take a stand. If Tech plays the QB, those games don't count for the committee. Column: si.com/college-footba…
