if they had nothing to do with the ruling, then why are they 100% ready to return to court?

punishment would cause the one being punished damage. and the dipshit coach said it isn't like someone was murdered or beaten.

That's actually a damn good response. I still don't think the kid should play, but the AD put about as good a spin on it as you can.

I'm pretty sure he meant they're fine with going to court against the schools that are refusing to play them. Who knows.

I think the thing that flies all over me is that a number of kids break team rules and end up getting kicked off the team. Some of which get cast aside for whatever their affliction is...gambling, drugs, anger issues, grades, rape or sa, guns, take your pick. They aren't "treated" for a condition...they are told to get fucked and NEXT. Which is probably the way it should be. Texas Tech is not Woodland Hills Recovery so that whole spin on this shit seems a bit of a stretch. Who wants to bet that this kid will have an amazing recovery in about two months...completely cured.

Our ad would bumblefuck his way to dipshitsville. Can we hire their ad?

Gambling on your own team is kind of one of those fundamental things that strikes at the heart of the integrity and legitimacy of the game.  A rapist can play and it doesn't actually impact the game itself.  But if a kid is betting on his own team, then he is possibly point shaving and or doing other things that directly impact the game on the field.  No sport can survive if that is allowed.

Does Brian Kelly speak "Memfis Skrert" or is he a Foghorn Leghorn one trick phony?

Unpaid consultant? That's fucking insulting but didn't Bert do this a few years?

He is probably "unpaid" in the same way that top college players were "unpaid" before it became official.

Is Sorsby facing federal charges?

Texas Tech is really really trying to be a turd in the punch bowl.  I like it though.  They are making sure they will not be included in any future super conference.

It would be absolutely hilarious if there was a breakaway and Tech was left holding their dicks all because they sold their soul to rent a mid QB for 5 months.

Sir they are in the people helpin business. Gambling is a certified illness.

I can not believe a judge honestly believes that someone should not be allowed to suffer because of the consequences of an action they did multiple times.

I did not realize that being a member of a team and playing in games is a right and not a privilege.

But then college athletics is in the mess it is because schools don't want to abide by the rules that they as members of the NCAA made and approved. Meanwhile the conferences got all the power I.e. tv money without having to deal with rule enforcement. 20 years ago no one knew who the conference commissioner was.

In granting the temporary injunction, Curry wrote on behalf of the court that "Applicant has demonstrated he will suffer a probably, imminent, and irreparable injury if the court does not grant this temporary injunction because he will be unable to participate as a member of Texas Tech's 2026 football team, including Texas Tech's 2026 football season and:


"1. Benefit from the elite coaching, training resources, camaraderie, and regimen that only being a member of a Division I football team can provide.

"2. Build the skills necessary to maximize his own success during the college football season, as well as that of Texas Tech's football team and each of its players, and

"3. Make an informed decision regarding whether to enter the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft."

It's more unbelievable to me that it isn't a federal crime to bet on games in which you have direct influence over AND consequences are thrown out the window and actions dismissed because of a mental health issue related to having a gambling addiction.  WTF?

That's like saying guy is a serial killer but it's okay...he has a mental illness.

I mean this is a big deal.  College football in some ways is hanging by a thread anyway.  All you need are fans to suspect that games are actively being fixed by players who are betting on them and that's it.  From then on every boneheaded play, dropped pass, and late game score against a weak sister becomes evidence of fixing in the eyes of fans who then will regard it as no more interesting than professional wrestling.  And if this one guy who BY HIS OWN ADMISSION not only gambled on college football but his own team's games gets to play, how do you ever keep anyone else out?

The conferences either draw a hard line or this is truly the beginning of the end even though it might take a bit to play out.

It's like taking Ted Bundy and putting him in charge of a sorority house.
