@PregameEmpire Duke worked with the ACC and ESPN to be granted the ability to sell these games to Amazon and included further commitments to neutral site events owned by ESPN in future seasons.

am I dumb or is this not a direct violation of the ACC’s grant of rights
Jeff Borzello@jeffborzello

@tylermcscifi @micah_erfan ...greater opportunity to platform themselves. 45% of the country identifies as politically independent which means a plurality of citizens only vote for one party or another because there's no viable alternative.
English
@tylermcscifi @micah_erfan Remove districts entirely and move to an at large system, with seats apportioned to each party based on their total share of the vote statewide.
This does two things:
1) Unlocks representation for political minorities in single party states.
2) Gives 3rd parties a...

Even without the VRA, Democrats could still come out ahead in the redistricting wars.
However, this is a race to hell.
We need a nationwide gerrymandering ban.

@BuffalOKstate Bowl eligibility but not title contention is my guess.

@CowboyColonel I’m interested to see what Klein can do with Johnson. I really don’t know what to expect from Kstate this year tbh

My official season predictions (I’m an idiot so don’t take me seriously).
Wins: Tulsa, Murray State, West Virginia, UCF, Colorado, Iowa State
Losses: Oregon, Houston, Tech
Toss ups: Kansas State, Arizona State, Kansas
Prediction: 7-5

Oklahoma State fans… what’s your realistic football record prediction next season? I don’t want optimism, I want honesty. 😭 Drop it 👇

@BuffalOKstate Houston won a ton of coin flip games last year and went 3-3 at home. I think we can improve into coin flip territory this year.
Tech still out-talents us, but QB troubles could break them this season. I no longer think of that game as an automatic loss.
English
@BuffalOKstate Move Kansas State to the win column, Houston to the toss up column, and Tech to a new "Heavily Favored" column and you have my predictions for the season.
I think Klein has enough growing pains as a first time head coach that KSU takes a step back.

@JimAdams78 @jlkurtz "The Big 12, which includes Cincinnati, uses ProhiBet, a compliance driven app every student-athlete in the conference must download on their phone. The app notifies universities when athletes attempt to sign up for betting platforms or place prohibited wagers."
English
@JimAdams78 @jlkurtz "The Cincinnati athletic department was alerted in August that star quarterback Brendan Sorsby was gambling prior to the start of the 2025 season, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on Monday."

Respectfully, Sorsby checked himself into a residential treatment center for a gambling addiction.
Ransom Stoddard 🌵@JimAdams78
@jlkurtz Allegations of betting Kurtz. Until there is hard evidence it is just allegations. It may end up that this is true, but let's allow the evidence to play out.
English
@ImmaculateView Plus what kind of message does that send other Big XII member Cincinnati? They're suing Sorsby for breach of contract over being poached by Tech.
Best to just run it back with Hammond or give one of the other QBs a go.
English
@ImmaculateView ...that Yormark take some of the heat for Tech to go and break those rules.
The Sorsby situation is unfortunate for Tech, but it's not like there's NO quarterbacks in Lubbock, TX at the moment.
English
I think the current Texas Tech situation is one that Yormark could use to rebuild his relations with Tech.
Sorsby is cooked, there is no stopping what is coming there.
Where he might be able to help Tech though is in providing some cover fire for Tech to go out and bring in a transfer QB outside of the portal window.
That action could come with serious penalties, penalties that Tech may be ok with, but if Yormark can help get those penalties reduced then that would probably go a long ways towards repairing some of that relationship.
English
@TheWildUte Have to think it's no longer Tech's chip to lose, and makes me think we'll have our third set of new CCG participants since the start of this new Era of CFB.
Cowboys and Utes in Arlington?

If Sorsby cannot play for Texas Tech, the Big 12 football race just got WIDE open.
Pete Thamel@PeteThamel
From Texas Tech: "Texas Tech Athletics and Brendan Sorsby announced today that Sorsby will take an immediate indefinite leave of absence from the football program to enter a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction."
English
@brentincbad @TheWildUte At the risk of sounding insensitive to the Sorsby situation the Houston, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, and TCU games just turned to coin flips.
English
@TheWildUte They still have the easiest path to the BIG12 title game (see their schedule) and their backup is pretty good. However, this definitely makes it much more interesting.

@PokeTraveling @DarthBaylor6158 4.) Bar insurance companies from paying out medical and vehicle insurance benefits to people caught illegally storm chasing with carveouts for victims of accidents involving illegal storm chasers.
English
@PokeTraveling @DarthBaylor6158 3.) Establish laws criminalizing unlicensed storm chasing, with fines and suspension of driving licenses for early offenses and prison sentences for repeat offenders.
English
Yeah we are waiting for a headline like
“13 chasers dead after Tornado takes wild turn”
Brady Harris@StormCat5_
Apparently, The Dominator has entourage of 67 Cars following it at all times. I don't think these chasers can actually think for themselves. Storm chasing is cooked

@BuffalOKstate Given the fact he signed a two year deal, I have to think he stays at least two years and is leaving his Senior year open as an option.
English
@stonybiby @BuffalOKstate Sorry for 2027*. He signed a 2 year deal reportedly worth 7.5 mil.
English
@stonybiby @BuffalOKstate If he declared for the draft he'd have to be reasonably sure he'd go in the top 15 to beat his reported $4 mil NIL deal for 2026.

The reason people think OKC gets away with more fouls.
Let’s say a 10 is a foul and is called a foul on everyone.
OKC plays at a 8 all the time. Most other teams play at about a 6.
When you go from a 8 to a 10 it’s much less obvious than when you go suddenly from a 6 to a 10
