@jonkappes1985 @ChadBrendel You're the one accusing UC of knowing he was gambling. You haven't shown any evidence of that yet. I'd like an intelligent answer, but I guess that's too much to ask for.
English
Or maybe, and stay with me now, it's because he was addicted to gambling and knew he was breaking every rule in the book so he kept it hidden from an entity that A) had no hard evidence he was breaking the rules and B) no subpoena power to investigate any further. But you clowns are so desperate to absolve yourself from wrongdoing you refuse to see the reality right in front of your face.

@ChadBrendel they knew about it Chad, they just didn’t look into it hard enough. maybe its because they knew they had a better chance of winning with him on the team. you might want to sit this one out

@T__Baloney @superjmstone @ChadBrendel Kid plays for your school for two years, bets obscene amounts of money the whole time, gets flagged by your monitoring software, but you guys have it all figured out?

@jonkappes1985 @superjmstone @ChadBrendel You can't figure out any of this, so I'd be surprised if you could figure that out.
English
@T__Baloney @superjmstone @ChadBrendel Did they verify that with the betting site or only within what their monitoring software generated. Think Tony! They could have sought more evidence if they wanted it
English
@jonkappes1985 @superjmstone @ChadBrendel They were alerted he was trying to access the site. Not that he tried to place a bet. He was blocked from accessing the site. There was nothing to review because he wasn't allowed to even access the site.
English
@T__Baloney @ChadBrendel You keep asking the same stupid question, what else do you want.
English
@jonkappes1985 @ChadBrendel The same nothing response? I'd expect nothing less from a Texas Tech fan. You can't give a good answer, so you keep giving the same dumbass answer. Typical.
English
@T__Baloney @superjmstone @ChadBrendel Do I need to come by and explain how to wipe your ass tomorrow morning too?
English
@jonkappes1985 @superjmstone @ChadBrendel Again not answering the question. Fantastic dodge. Attack the person when you can't make a solid argument. Makes sense when you have no argument.
English
@T__Baloney @superjmstone @ChadBrendel He did something to trigger the alert. Websites create logs of everything. There would be a log of the him attempting to login and then getting blocked. Did the review the log for the site to confirm he wasn’t able to place a bet? According to media reports no.
English
@jonkappes1985 @superjmstone @ChadBrendel Reviewing his activities? He couldn't access the site. That's what they were alerted to. For fuck's sake. Did you pay attention to any of it?
English
@ChadBrendel Nice try Chad, but when you start offering more details than any other media source, as the owner of bearcatjournal.com. People can smell the bullshit. You win the Pravda award for journalistic integrity today!
English
Try reading slow, Jon. There were no activities on the site that got flagged. It got him as he signed up, blocked his attempt and booted him from the site. He never had a chance to place a bet. Do you get it now?
Jon Kappes@jonkappes1985
@superjmstone @T__Baloney @ChadBrendel Wow dude! How about anything that even attempted to corroborate the kids story, or better yet how about reviewing his activities on the site that got triggered? Same thing you’d do if one of your kids got reported for something and you wanted to make sure they were ok
English
@ShonenVentures @ColonelRebel87 @bretthbayne While technically true, not playing him for reasons other than provable performance issues would open Tech up to the same sanctions the injunction creates for the NCAA. You need to realize this injunction is new to CFB, and there is no clear and easy way out for anyone involved
English
@jonkappes1985 @ColonelRebel87 @bretthbayne No court ruling determines the depth chart at a university, you know that.
Could Joey McGuire decide that Will Hammond wins the job in Fall camp and earned the right to start as QB1 despite the NIL investment in Sorsby? The answer is of course, Yes.
English
The irony of Texas Tech threatening a breach of contact action when that same university breached their employment contract with Mike Leach, never paid him, and then hid behind sovereign immunity to avoid paying out his contract.
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
@ColonelRebel87 @ShonenVentures @bretthbayne Won’t matter. If it falls apart because of antitrust activities, the damages Tech will recover will turn all future college football seasons into the annual TTU invitational tournament.
English
@jonkappes1985 @ShonenVentures @bretthbayne Who is Texas Tech going to sue when the Big 12 inevitably falls apart and no one else will take them because of this kind of shit?
English
@T__Baloney @ChadBrendel If you’re going to keep post the same question, I guess I’ll just keep posting the same response x.com/jonkappes1985/…

@T__Baloney @ChadBrendel Moron, I never said what you said was wrong. You’re omitting other details cited by the various news articles I’ve referenced for you. NY post, USA Today and SI. Fire up google and stop burying your head in the sand.
English
@jonkappes1985 @ChadBrendel I'd love to see it. You posted a screenshot of a headline of an article and a screenshot of something repeating exactly what I said. Just show me something contradicting what I said.
English
@T__Baloney @superjmstone @ChadBrendel Anything more than we asked the suspect and he said there was nothing to worry about would have better. I guess those Cincinnati degrees aren’t worth much if you cannot grasp this concept
English
@jonkappes1985 @superjmstone @ChadBrendel Why don't you answer the question? You seem to believe there was more to be done. What more could they do without subpoena power?

@jonkappes1985 @T__Baloney @ChadBrendel What investigating are they supposed to do? What specifically?
English
@ShonenVentures @ColonelRebel87 @bretthbayne The Texas AG and Sorsby’s very successful lawyer have both publicly stated the opposite. This injunction is unlike anything we’ve seen in college sports to date. You need to stop pretending there is an easy solution, and really need to stop the mob rule tactics against Tech
English
@jonkappes1985 @ColonelRebel87 @bretthbayne B.S. Jon
The injunction does not require Tech to start Sorsby. It merely prevented the NCAA from enforcing its ruling on Sorby's eligibility.
The Big12 is within its rights to enforce its own bylaws with respect to 1.3.2 Adherence to NCAA Rules & 3.6 Sanction of a Member.
English
@TheDrummerDad If Tech wins an antitrust case large enough, they won’t need a conference. P5 schools would play them for a check just like AA schools do today
English
I hope the Big12 disintegrates and Texas tech is left out in the cold to join a G5 conference lol
John Williams@john9williams
Everyone thought Oklahoma and Texas killed the Big 12. When in reality, it’s going to be Texas Tech.
English
@superjmstone @T__Baloney @ChadBrendel They have a whole compliance office. What do you think those people are employed to do?
English
English
@ColonelRebel87 @bretthbayne Nope, they joined a business partnership and expected fair and equitable treatment. The collusion of the other members in retaliation for complying with a standing court order, constitutes antitrust behavior and no one can contract away their right to protection from such actions
English
@jonkappes1985 @bretthbayne They joined an association, the Big 12, and agreed to abide by their rules. Now they are threatening to sue if those rules are enforced.
English
@superjmstone @T__Baloney @ChadBrendel Asking a kid, who has every reason to lie, and then just moving on is all you expect for “ institutional control” ?
English
@jonkappes1985 @T__Baloney @ChadBrendel What investigating are they supposed to do? Invade his living abode? Rough up his friends and family? They're not the police.
