Texas Tech's actions in obtaining eligibility for Brendan Sorsby -- an athlete the NCAA declared permanently ineligible for extensive wagering on college sports, including games involving his own team -- have constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football. If Texas Tech will not do the right thing, the Big 12 should. espn.com/college-footba…

@john9williams Thanks John.....Your opinion is noted!!...

I’m SO glad I didn’t have to go to Texas Tech.

@UtahCFBstats 🙄🤣

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.

@CFBHome @carebearkieran Integrity.....

@CMTX281 @carebearkieran Now read the last sentence Kayshon Boutte wasnt in college Arch Manning venmo payments...thats a reach

Texas Tech fans let’s try this because y’all have a hard time accepting the truth. Name me another college athlete to be caught by the NCAA betting on their own team WHILE IN COLLEGE and keep their eligibility to play again in college.

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.

@timpadams1 Rumor one of the UT players was Arch Manning.....interesting!!!

@timpadams1 Here's a few others.....UT player was never named and had to give his winnings to charity. LSU played theirs before he eventually removed himself.

It’s extremely rare if not totally unprecedented for virtually everyone in college sports to agree on anything, but excluding Texas Tech, it’s happening now with Sorsby. However, in fairness to the Texas Tech fans, I really wonder how many other fans bases would also fight tooth and nail to try and justify that an admitted gambling addict athlete, who bet on his team, should get a slap on the wrist and a pat on the butt after a two game suspension.

@WeFixThings2024 @BrennanBaxt Yep, you would know...lol. Can you even name another player on the team?... lol

No one is saying they don’t care about their athletes. But there is no other player on the team TT would pursue as vigorously to fight for his eligibility on their team. Tech’s motive for supporting Sorsby is the $5M they paid him and he can help them compete for a natty. If this was a backup QB or any other starter, they wouldn’t provide this level of support.

It’s becoming clear that any school other than Texas Tech couldn’t care less about the mental health of their student athletes.

@mofo8242 @BrennanBaxt It would kinda be hard to make bets while actually being one the field....😉🤣

@BrennanBaxt Stop trying to deflect. They can do all they want to jell him with recovery and rehab as they should. Doesn’t mean they have to let him play. As they shouldn’t and they’re not being forced to play him by the injunction. Just that he’s with the team where he’s “safe”. Laughable.

So murder and beating somebody are the only things that should warrant a permanent suspension? At least TT has some sort of a line…….. Again, what are we doing here?

@brandongroepper @EMAWCaleb 2 game suspension silly....

@EMAWCaleb Let’s not forget the part that if he is an addict, one of the first thing he needs to do is accept the consequences of his actions not fight them.

The thing that’s arguably most disgusting from the cactus emoji people online is the complete mockery they’re making of mental health. He’s a fucking degen gambler like half the dudes his age that went to “rehab” for 3 weeks and now claims to be cured. Give me a fucking break.

This shouldn’t be about justification and explaining… The bottom line, he bet on his own team… That’s all the information you need… Nothing about a gambling addiction, nothing about a mental problem… He gambled on his own team and that’s a bridge too far and he should never play organized football again… Stop trying to justify bad behavior just because you want to win football games

@ChristopherIhde @raidergrad2 @jlkurtz Weird....he didn't the samething to Tech...lol

@raidergrad2 @jlkurtz Sorsby lied to Cinci about his gambling when they approached him. Holding Cinci accountable for being lied to by Sorsby, while supporting Tech's fight for Sorsby which includes knowing Sorsby lied to Cinci, is a take.

Big 12 ADs have every reason to be furious about the Brendan Sorsby ruling. I absolutely hate it too. But there's one big reason sanctioning Texas Tech is a fight the league shouldn't pick. (Link in replies)

@Christo15170694 @3xOptionShow Already happened....player was never named and gave his winnings to charity. Great integrity!!....lol

@3xOptionShow If Texas was doing this he and his oil boosters would be crying the loudest

Texas Tech’s head coach keeps it… real?

@EMAWCaleb @On3 @AndyStaples Your school might want to give it a try!....LMFAO

@On3 @AndyStaples They had 1 good season where they didn’t score a point in the CFP you ass clown @AndyStaples Oh and btw Yormark asked for nationally competitive teams, not programs that explain away their QBs gambling on their own games. Bit of a stretch from ya, no?

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…

@G_Dawg09 @On3 @AndyStaples SEC should retroactively punish LSU then....Fair??

@On3 @AndyStaples Well, those other teams have a reason to want to sanction TT - it’s called breaking the rules for your own advantage. Should they just go along because TT has supposedly “done so much” for the league? Give me a break.

@john9williams Yes, doesn't ruin integrity at all....🙄 Why bet on yourself, when they'll pay you if you win?

Paying players under the table, something everyone did, isn’t the same as gambling on your own sport, John.

@HornTakes Oh wait one paid he's winning to charity and the other wasn't caught till afterwards. So no harm done....lol The integrity is still intact....LMFAO

There is 100%, no doubt, that Texas Tech intends to play Sorsby this fall. You don’t take multiple opportunities to pony show through the mental gymnastics they have over the last 48+ hours just to tell the world you’re helping a kid. That could change obviously, but right now, any Tech account that falls back on “they haven’t said they are even playing him” is trying to convince themselves that Tech cares about Sorsby.
